Hudak’s Hail Mary Performance Pass?
It could be considered by some to be a draw between Kathleen Wynne and Tim Hukdak with the edge going to Hudak.” She ” for not crumbling completely under fire for the gas plant fiasco, ” He ” for improved personal performance and appeal – even going as far as offering to resign if he doesn’t deliver.
Hudak will likely get more of a post debate bump because he appeared ” less unlikeable” than he has been in the past and conveyed ” Less insincerity” than he has in the past while spiking the corruption volley balls that Andrea Horwath “bumped up” with questions to Liberal leader Wynne about having a choice to say ” no ” when she was at the cabinet table that made decisions about gas plants. It was a weak throw back to Brian Mulroney’s devastating blow in 84 that left John Turner gasping for the kind of political air that could resuscitate his
political life.
There were no real defining moments other than those ” you had a choice” lines in an attempt to hold Wynne as accountable as her predecessor, but they didn’t stick.
an Ipsos survey taken right after the debate finds that most people ( 36 % ) who watched the debate think Tim Hudak won compared to 27% who think Wynne did and 26% who give it to Andrea Horwath
