Electionisms...

Just finished watching the federal leadership debate. What a fun way to spend a Tuesday night. The high points?

Layton ruffling Martin's feathers - repeatedly. Nice job there.

Trying to figure out if Layton's hands were actually his or whether they belonged to someone standing behind him *pretending* that they were Layton's hands.

First place in the "Best shot to the head" category goes to Stephen Harper for this gem; "Quebecers deserve to have a better choice than corruption and separation." in reference to the predominantly Liberal v. Bloc ballots found throughout Quebec.

Paul Martin didn't strike me as being a statesman - unless being a statesman means "I like making words up". "Weaponization of space"? "Pan-Canadian"? Personally I think that "extra-terrestrial militarization" and "national" would have sufficed.

He also seemed to confuse "I've said this 1000 times" with "Don't you understand what I'm trying to say" several times
