Martha Hall Findlay: Clearly on top after the first leadership debate!

Speaking Out!
Martha Hall Findlay in Edmonton
Praise for Martha:
"In this empty rhetorical net, Martha Hall Findlay scored one of the rare goals of the afternoon, arguing that Canada's foreign policy should not be tailored to the headlines of the American media."
"Of the three [female candidates], Hall Findlay is the only one who has both the necessary language credentials and the presence that frontline politicians are made of. It's too bad Paul Martin took her out of the running in the riding of Newmarket-Aurora in the last election to make room for Belinda Stronach."
"[Martha] and Stéphane Dion provided one of the few rare refreshing exchanges of a tiresome afternoon with a discussion of democratic reform. For a brief moment, the notion of a less predictable and more dynamic Liberal leadership seemed like more than just a figment of partisan imagination.

Of the 11 candidates, the two of them may be those who did themselves the most good in Winnipeg."
