Clegg and Cameron did ok.

Brown didnt.... pretty poor.

But then to be fair to Brown, he has the most to lose from this kind of debate and he lived up to that.

Nobody stood out really though between Cameron and Clegg.

Clegg was better in my opinion. Anyway, Brown went in the underdog pretty much because he is prime minister. It is easy for Clegg and Cameron to say to Brown "Then why haven't you done it? You have the power", and they invoked this several times to get ahead in the debate. Brown couldn't use this argument, immediate disadvantage.

Clegg was using it much more than Cameron. Pretty much his entire argument was "We've never been in government, so we've never messed anything up like the others."

But it worked.

The reason Brown was attacked so much is because Labour's made a complete mess of the country.
