They should use music Acadamy Awards style when a speaker goes over his time limits.

Rodent had to be interrupted three times before he wrapped up his opening statement. Give him one warning then drown him in awards ceremony music...

Agree.

Rudd is looking more organised, in control, more confident.

Howard is just too negative.

 

[jerry springer]

very negative John

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Ha.........first mention of COstello, worm goes down. The same think happened when Howard answered the question about the transition. Costello is not liked!

 

[jerry springer]

why does he keep mentioning that his "team" is there with him?

wheres abbot out the back beating up Swan?

 

[Bombers_Forever]

very negative John

Agree - the worm agrees. He is too negative, wants to attack Rudd all the time and is not saying anything positive about the future.

 

[likka]

Rudd giving him a bath at the moment... much more polished and making his points much more concisely.

Rudd on Howard as treasurer in the 80s... BANG!

Has Rodent been in the positive on the worm yet?

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Rudd is killing it after 15 minutes.

 

[w00dy]

where is the worm? i can't see it?

 

[jerry springer]

Rudd doing well,doesnt want to get into a mudslinging match with the rodent though,stay positive

Very good summary. Howard has gone above the positive a few times, but now very far. Rudd is the opposite.

Rudd is much more concise, ready to wrap up answers quickly. Howard is sounding boring and repetitive

 

[TigerFan]

Howard is performing VERY poorly at the moment.

he's spitting his words, gesturing violent and coming across as a very negative figure

this election won't be won tonight, but Rudd is an extremely good orator, and he's making Howard look second-rate at the moment

 

[jerry springer]

where is the worm? i can't see it?

when Johnny speaks, it starts heading toward china

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Rudd doing well,doesnt want to get into a mudslinging match with the rodent though,stay positive

Agree. Rudd doesn't even look like he wants to lower himself to that level - Howard is looking desperate with his mudslinging. I though he used the word "pathetic" in relation to Rudd a few minutes ago

First question asked by Allison Carabine of 2UE in relation to housing

 

[Binxy]

wheres abbot out the back beating up Swan?

up...off..whatever.

 

[Cousin Jed]

I think they need to turn the air con up. Both of them are sweating up.

We can turn off now, clearly the worm is the same as that was emplyed last debate.

Completely unbiased no doubt

 

[likka]

Rudd showing empathy, Howard very condescending.

Has Rudd had a chin implant?

 

[Alistair]

What channel is the worm on? I am on ABC and cannot see it.

 

[likka]

What channel is the worm on? I am on ABC and cannot see it.

Nein.

 

[MightyFighting]

What channel is the worm on? I am on ABC and cannot see it.

Channel 9.

 

[Cousin Jed]

What channel is the worm on? I am on ABC and cannot see it.

9 only. It's a 9 thing

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Howard is performing VERY poorly at the moment.

this election won't be won tonight, but Rudd is an extremely good orator, and he's making Howard look second-rate at the moment

Agree. I can't see him reversing it over the next 30 minutes or so. Rudd is looking very sharp and his answers are good. Howard is struggling and doesn't look prepared.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

More interesting with the worm - the worm tonight looks accurate to be honest

 

[Cousin Jed]

The worm is not heading to China for Johhny.

But I can see a few journalists using the term flatline like a heart monitor in the papers tommorrow.

 

[la47]

I loved when the worm went up before Rudd even spoke just before...why do they bother

 

[likka]

Howard getting absolutely mauled in this debate. Really coming across as untrustworthy and insincere in comparison.

Didn't think Howard would bomb like this... gives the impression it is time for a change.
