# brilliant
I have yet to see this 'debate' I missed it last night

# It wasn't great, but it was ok.
Nick Clegg looked the most comfortable and impressive in my opinion. Gordon Brown seemed good to me apart from when he was trying to be funny. David Cameron looked terribly uncomfortable to me, which I mainly found surprising because of his PR background.

And I liked Gordon Brown's tie.

# The make-up they had given Cameron gave him that weird
'uncanny valley' look that he had on the posters. It was strange seeing him move around - reminded me of an Auton.

# I thought Brown did loads better than Cameron, so I was surprised when the opinion polls said otherwise.
I also thought the pink tie was a good move.

Clegg came across by far the best, but he went on about Trident a few too many times. I suspect in the next debate he might have to work a bit harder because the other two will tear him apart.

# As I said last night, in my wholly unbiased view,
the polls were run by ITV.

The kind of people who would vote in a poll on the ITV website are most likely morons, and therefore probably read The Sun or The Daily Mail.

If they read The Daily Mail, they are most likely Tories at heart.

If they read The Sun, they probably were fooled into being tory voters just because it said to be on the front page a couple of months back,.

# It was a lot better than I imagined it was going to be.
And the Cleggster did do pretty well, on balance.

# I heard he hardly mentioned our brave, brave soliders

# Yes, that was rather cringe-inducing on the part of the other two.

# They all didn't

# He mentioned Trident about a billion times though.
And he also said "squillion" which I thought was a mistake.

# Doesn't really show a good grasp of economics, does it?

# Yeah, but he has Vince Cable to deal with that stuff :P

# There are highlights on the Guardian site
though they appear to have a totally different definition of "highlights" to me

# I only caught the last twenty minutes or so
from what I saw it seemed pretty good, Clegg did very well, and personally I thought Cameron was better than Brown.

proceedings.
