who's gonna watch the leaders TV debate tonight then?

[mrsbaldwin]

Me!!!

Oh Dave, just couldn't do it with Gordon - I'd kill him

dinster Cuts now means we will pay off the deficit quicker because we will pay much much less interest.

Has this made anyone change their mind/make their mind up about who they'll vote for in the ge?

DC reminds me of Blair in terms of his v irritating style before elected that only toned down slightly in office.

I reckon if we could see underneath the three inches of Chanel Vitalumiere, we'd see Dave sweating.

I need to read up on the psychology of watching these debates. 'Cos I read how well DC is doing, but my perception is completely different. Is it possible to view these things objectively?

Ah, a "review" that will be unbeaurocratic and quick, not to mention cheap .

You don't PAY OFF deficit - the deficit is just the difference between spend and income

The DEBT we have not even begun to think about yet

I think we have all watched and had our prejudices confirmed

Exactly as how I would ahve summed it up leonie- funny as I ahdn't expected it to turn out this way

Shag Gordo, Marry Nick kill Cameron by throwing pots of estee lauder double wear foundation at his head

but he'd drip grease all over you McDreamy!

Is GB wearing lipstick? His lips look very red .

I have worked my way through a packet of Jaffa Cakes!
GB needs a slap.

Did you know our soldiers are 'Brave'?

Dinster - like the others said, no-one knows which is acutally the right answer as to cut now or cut later. Economists are split, personally i'm in the cut later camp. It's old fashioned Keynesian economics, if the government spends now, it'll put enough money in the economy to kick start it again, through providing employment and buying things from the private sector

i am getting a bit tipsy through the over use of the town of Sheffield,

Good point morningpaper

DC reminds me of Blair in terms of his v irritating style before elected that only toned down slightly in office

i think they are very much cut from the same cloth. it was successful cloth for Blair though....

Very good to mention trident Nick. Well done!
I wish he had been allowed to finish on that point.

Thing is Fatti we're not voting for them are we. It all depends on where we live.

Do you think anyone is actually just sitting and watching? Without being on here / twitter / BBC Have Your Say / Facebook etc. etc.

Current odds from William Hill for debate winner (not election outcome).

NC 4/7
DC 2/1
GB 6/1

Not totally@Humphrey.

I thought DC would be much more impressive than he is.

I also hoped Clegg might be more robust.

I thought GB might be more shaky, less self assured.
