Well, I finally watched it, and it wasn't bad. I actually thought the moderator did an excellent job keeping them in time and refocusing the questions that some leaders skimmed over. The impact on the overnight polls (pdf) seems to have been negligable though - a slight increase in leadership for Jack Layton, that's about it. The interesting thing about this campaign is that it's really going to be in two parts - the current one before the holidays, and then the rush afterwards, since no one is really going to care between Christmas and New Year's (assuming they do in the first place!)
Oh, and since we're all being up front about bias, I was the President of the Nova Scotia NDP Youth Wing for two years in my early twenties, worked on a number of campaigns for the NDP in Canada and the Democrats in Illinois, and currently hover somewhere between the Liberal party and the NDP. My vote is NDP this time around, since I personally know the candidate who's in my riding.
Oh, and if you just can't get enough of Canadian politics, you can download a simluation and play a particular party yourself here, sponsored by the CBC.
