But I do wonder if Ed Miliband’s “Hell Yeah”when Paxman asked him if he was “tough enough to deal with the likes of Putin” maybe the most memorable event from the whole debates and interviews. Whether it is for good or ill, we will soon find out.

That was terrible by Miliband. Absolutely dreadful. The only bit he rallied was the second half of Paxo which was then totally undone by the 'off air' final question.
Cameron won it by light years.
Oh you mean among the politicians?
I thought Cameron edged it but about 7:5 rather than some kind of walk over.
Paxo
Other than that, what we really learned is that Dave versus Ed means we are all losers
Second...Paxman's bank manager....
The more they saw......isn't that par for the course. Miliband on the box, Labour down.
I'm going to be the dissenting voice and say that Paxman wasn't great either, especially with the groan-worthy personal attacks.
Not sure what they were watching, the only awesome performance was Paxman.
That's Etonian Idol Cameron ...., I think.
Score draw for me.
Overall Ed will have gained and Cameron will stay static.
Egg on face of Guardian journo who has been ramping up how impressive and well prepared Ed Miliband was throughout. What's that I hear....the delete key being rapidly pressed on the Guardian's journo's keyboard as they have to rewrite 100's of words of how Miliband wiped the floor with Cameron.
98 / 1 / 1
I put the 1's down to misclicks.
Guardian ICM snap poll gives Cameron a win: Cameron 54%, Miliband 46%
Paxman got the better of Ed early on in part because of Eds inability to cope with him, Cameron is better in that situation. Towards the end Ed had his moments against Paxman, he had a bad experience with some sunny uplands.
By definition as the opposition it is an easier it is easier to attack the record than it is for the incumbent to defend a 5 year record in which things are bound to go wrong.
The close shave should generate a panic, so he doesn't try and wing it next time and actually prepared properly.
Isn't that what's known as a 'Scottish victory" (© Alex Salmond)?

Now we are on the spin from Guardian...
2) But, given Ed Miliband’s personal ratings before tonight, Miliband is the man who has outperformed his benchmark - quite significantly.
I think we should wait and see what the standard VI polls say. I don't think either are going to benefit from this experience.
Not the twiterrati which is voodoo but ICM poll.
Money going on tories.
Right, enough of this. Time for sack hitting.
Surprisingly Allegra on newsnight called it big win for Ed and showed why cammo not want debate ed....
Ed also benefit from going second so knew he'd get a q about what was good re dave. Audience deffo negative more to ed but then sound sympathy for him, as then backed up with panoramic asking him not off Mike if he was ok!
She certainly knows to toe the party line.
That is what Trevor Philips was talking about....
Just saying.
There was better news for Miliband when it comes to the crucial question of shifting votes: 56% of the sub-sample who said they might change their mind will now plump for Labour, as against just 30% for the Conservatives.
David Cameron retains his lead as best prime minister in this survey - but by a smaller margin than in many past polls – he is preferred on this count by 48% as against just 40% for Miliband.
Everyone does need to be paranoid about open mics in the next 6 weeks.
6 weeks... !
An instant Guardian/ICM poll found that David Cameron had narrowly “won” the contest with 54% saying that the PM came out on top once the don’t knows were excluded, compared with just 46% who felt that Miliband had the edge.
The sample of viewers, who were weighted to bring them in line with the broader population, were asked to put aside their party preference and concentrate only on what they heard during the programme, 46% felt that Cameron had the best arguments, as against 44% who said the same of Miliband. Cameron was also judged slightly more convincing – by 48% to 43% – and to have the more appealing personality, by 46% to 42%. He chalked up a clearer win on “actually answering the questions asked”, by 44% to 37%.

ICM interviewed 3,650 adults aged 18+ online on 24-26th March.
If you get that 1-2 weeks before a GE, hard to get them back. With 8 weeks to go, you have time to pump the propaganda out.
Given the fact that Tory-Labour are neck and neck, this is a resounding win for Cameron.
