    What did everyone make of Gallagher's performance?

    No chance of winning imo. vb associated him with ff dunno if that is good or bad for him. I don't think he knows his stuff.

    I don't think so I,think he comes across as himself and just very unpolished. All the rest, except Dana, are just clones of each other.All the same cliched politician answers.

    That did seem to shut Vinnie up.

    Tbh I think it was more the fact that he had asked the same question directly 9 times by my count and it had been clumsily avoided like a three legged donkey dodging a venomous snake every time that made him just give up bothering. At a certain point it just becomes embarrassing for everyone involved.

    "It's not about the past it's about the future. Looking forward, as an Entrepreneur..."

    I heard that at least 3 times I'm sure. Although better than Dana bringing a copy of the constitution - which she'd want to have a read of soon enough because she hasn't a clue what she can or cannot do as President.

    Don't worry you will be delighted to hear McGuinness aced that one (by my reckoning).

    McGuinness, Higgins and Norris were the best for me. Gay Mitchell turns my stomach. The rest were irrelevant!

    Out of all the candidates Gay Mitchell had far the most groomed appearance. You'd think he should scrap this presidential race and aim for a Best in Show award.

    I only heard him near the end going on about Ian Paisley and Ulster Loyalists and the events next year. He seems to really be playing on his "friendship" with Unionism/Loyalism which is frankly absurd.

    He has no notion of winning and he knows it, he is here to up his profile for the future.
    Keith he came across as ok, I read his interview in the Mail on sat and it's the same old thing with him.

    I would agree except that I have heard VB asked the same bloody question for hour after hour after hour...

    After that debate its either Gallagher or Mickey D for me.

    Norris is nothing more then a romantic bullsh1tter

    Gay is the same as every other politician in this country, he seems more interested in getting one over on the others rather then debating the issue at hand.

    Mary Davis just another golden circle crony

    Martin - to focused on the north

    Dana - really how can anyone seriously vote for her? Felt like hitting her over the head with the constitution every time she raised it up.

    If Norris had any dignity, he would not have ran in the election. The guy is just digging a hole for himself every time he opens his mouth.

    She's a gas oul yoke alright. She genuinely seems to believe that as president, should something be put in front of her which she feels goes against her interpretation of the constitution, that she will be able to just slam her staff on the ground and shout out "It shall not pass!!" and that will be the end of that.
