The Paxman interviews

Just a quick thought having watched Howard-Paxman on the internet. If you compare the end of the interviews of all the three party leaders, it is only Michael Howard who visibly chats with Jeremy Paxman in a relaxed way.

He seemed confident, able to defend his policies and position in a competent way, and able to defuse the Paxman bile charismatically.
