    Michael D is the only one of them up there who's worth a ****. Such a poor crowd.

    I'll be voting him number 1 with no transfers.

    Imagine if there was an Islamic burka-clad presidential candidate; the country would be running scared and trying to grill them on all their 'radical' views. Consequentially, the calibre of presidential candidate we are entertaining this election is reflective of our communal intellect. So embarrassing.

    Biggest looser of the night ..... M McG his history will always haunt him. Better he accepts that and looks for forgiveness instead of promotion.

    Biggest winner of the night....
    .. MARY composed and had an air of a Presidency.

    Whether she wins the campaign or not, she won the night.

    Why are you all criticising Dana for not wanting to repeat the allegations on air? She clearly has only just been informed about the allegations herself and would want/need to take time to take in the news and then decide how best to proceed. That's pretty standard. If that was any of you in her position, I'm quite sure you neither would have wanted to repeat the allegations in that situation.

    As she said, we will all find out tomorrow.

    And no I am not a Dana supporter. I've never voted for her and have no plans to ever vote for her.

    I just thought the response on here to that incident was immature.

    Miriam handled that situation appallingly, imo.

    This whole election has been such a joke.

    EDIT: Okay all that stuff I just said was actually my anger at how crap Miriam handled the situation, and I directed it at the wrong target. It was really just meant for Miriam. :cool:

    Move along, nothing to see here...

    Well if there is no major Dana scandal she should be deported back to the USA.

    TV3 won the night because the nation would have turned over in their millions.

    Dana is a disgrace taking time out to read that statement.

    Had to laugh at Norris' answer for his one minute slot. He has no ability to speak concisely. Everything has to be a waffling spiel.

    No clear winner from tonight and no definite loser (bar Dana) I don't think. This is all down to the fact Miriam wasn't skilled enough with her questioning and refused to let candidate's enough time to allow a proper debate to develop.

    Eh, have you been in a time warp since 1994???

    Are you aware that there has been a peace process for the last 16 or so years?

    Are you aware that he has been deputy first minister in the North?

    Or does your Irishness begin and end at the Border and the 26counties?

    Actually maybe Dana's issue isn't to do with child abuse. She has no relationship with her siblings and screwed them over in the U.S.

    No time warp but he is, he only wants to talk about his past from the time th IRA laid down arms.

    Ask him "When did you leave the IRA" and you'll get I was imprisoned from date to date and from date to date then I got married and wa wa wa but no real answer, surely if he was really interested in being honest he could say I left the IRA in a given month in a given year. Simple and honest.

    He's a spoofer and is only interested in politics when it suits him or SF. How come the majority on this island were ignored for so long but now that it suits his way he's all about democracy now.

    Edited to add - My Irishness, thankfully was never his way, I could never ever condone the murder of people for political gain.

    She is just out to make money via publicity and not remotely interested in the role of President IMO.

    The sooner he packs his bags and goes back up north the better. I am sick to the teeth of hearing all the baggage that goes with him and bringing all that angst down south. He should move on and literally.

    I think the baggage that "goes with him" is being shoved on him. They were talking about whether or not God should be in the constitution. Then when it comes to Martin, she goes straight to the IRA thing and talks about it for a majority of the time.

    That lad from the dragons den was really intent to answer that question about the constitution and she didn't even ask him. He had his hand up and everything. :(

    True, he often had arguments with himself when he went back to speak to the IRA all those times.
