    Inda is doing well but the 5-way setup is a disaster. The Baron and Gormless are token gestures.

    I reckon Gormley is winning. He's also speaking the least.

    Nope, he is doing better than the Cork FF boy who wrecked the country anyway.

    Adams is a joker, mixing up bog standard facts, SF will be better off when he calls it a day.

    What's the story with Enda's gangsta rap hand
    and Martin's Claw hand. Maybe they are playing paper rock and scissors.

    thats only because of the current economic situation, thats not a long term consensus

    Nope, its been like that for ages, even during the boom. Simply google it, the majority of people don't care either way. The majority of people just see it as Northern Ireland and not a part of england or Ireland.

    JG is boxing very clever, staying out of thr brawl but scoring with a few nice clean shots.
    Kenny is throwing the punches he was told to though, some hit some miss, but he doesn't counter punch. Martin seems to be on the defensive lashing out, but getting caught more than landing.

    EG is trying to play safe, but not landing anything.

    Gerry is canvassing Louth

    Fine Gael will probably get their overall majority after tonight. Gilmore's performance has been very disappointing in both debates.

    Oh Enda you wave that hand like you mean business!

    Still none of them have said anything, just more promises. We need more than promises at this stage.

    Mícheal Martin, just admit the HSE is complete crap. It would get you a lot more respect.

    Toss up between Inda and Martin, who's doing well considered.

    I'm inclined to agree. Martin's doing well but you can't say it here as people think he's Brian Cowen reincarnated.

    Kenny is the runaway winner imo.

    Be interesting to see what the experts think.
    Who might they be?

    What matters is what the electorate think and whether or not this "debate" will effect their voting preferences.

    Gormley is a joker and a clown and mentioned Ringsend there to get votes.

    Anyway it's almost over - pointless debate. No winners, no losers from what I saw.

    I'm inclined to agree. None of them have stood out for me. I don't think the format helps in that regard.

    I wouldn't base my vote on a debate anyway as I think these are largely panto shows for the media to drool over.

    Lets be honest here, i'd go as far as saying that 35% of people going to A&E DONT actually need to be there.
    I've been there, and seen loads of people with only sprained ankles and wrists, cuts from cooking etc etc put a fecking ice pack on it and take a nurofen or 2 !! :mad: :mad: :mad:

    I'm not a FF fan but it annoys me the way whenever asked a tough question by Micheal Martin the first thing a respondent does is say how "oh well you where in Government for 14 years..." instead of answering the question, using the above as a cop-out.

    Pointless thread is pointless. Some questionable posters chiming in and people just spouting their opinions on parties. We're supposed to be discussing the debate and who is landing blows and perhaps "connecting". Goodnight.

    This...I have to say I have knocked about 90 minutes of Craic out of it, but considering what is at stake it's a sham. Good point by the chap from Kilkenny.
