Election Day - It's Going to be a Close One
Looking at the programme on Channel 9 last night, it looks too hard to call at the mo. The audience were going ALP, the phones were going Coalition. The opinion polls were 52% ALP 48% Coalition. The last election was 51% ALP so it's still too close to call. Remember it you can still lose with more votes if your votes are in the wrong place.
Did anyone see the programme last night? John Howard looked like a Rabbit caught in the headlights. Wonder if it was an act to make people feel sorry for him.

Sky news had a beauty of Rudd this morning, he got into a car, saw the cameras, put head head into his now famous paris hilton style tilt, flashed a grin that was so toothy and fake it make humphry B bear look intelligent, then leaning forward so close to the windscreen his face was nearly stuck on it
, he continued to grin for what seemed like an absolute eternity. He looked like one of those troll dolls you get stuffed in a glass jar at a fete

I quite liked the spoof Private Eye headline for the US election a while ago ...

At least, as far as I can make out, we will know the result in the PM rather than tomorrow AM ... I remember staying up until the early hours in the UK to watch the whole extravaganza unfold.

I see, well, I don't hold much confidence in polls either ... I reckon it will be close though, there are a lot of people out there that might just lose their nerve and go the 'better the devil you know' route when they have a pen in their hand.

I used to stay up and watch too. UK 97 was entertaining. UK 92 was rubbish. The polls called that one completely wrong.
