Okay, go ...
-
damn good call on the election date mr. brown.
<tips hat>
-
Does the press conference run down of achievements and running down National count towards electioneering advertising..?
-
Nah... "Has John Key stopped beating your wife yet?" is not a clear look at Labour's agenda -- ambitious or otherwise.
Go.

Stuff wins the race to get a substantial story up.
Although the Herald's effort, posted 1 min earlier, does contain the first third-party comment. Rodney Hide, of course.

I'm so over this election already and it has only just started!

yes, i thought it rough that some journalist questioned whether the standard had prior information, yet didn't mention your predictive powers...
-
I thought the announcement speech was dull...
And what happens to the Rt Hon Winston Peters?
-
And when are we going to see your policy, Helen? "Over the coming weeks" is a bit lame, isn't it? :)
-
Okay, go ...
To the US if Obama and Key both win? But I like it here.
(When Berlusconi won the 1995 election, the next day the front page of the satirical weekly Cuore consisted entirely of a photo of the editors smiling in front of the Tour Eiffel and the headline: GREETINGS FROM PARIS.)

I actually tweaked yesterday's reference to make it clear I didn't get a tip from anyone.
We've had to nut it out so we can plan for the Media7 election special (yes!), and hearing that you can't book a hall that Saturday just confirmed it.

Is she saying "they pinched our policies, so we're pinching their sales pitch"?
I'm still enjoying the irony of "they pinched our policies, but we found them lying around so we're releasing them for them".
My pick. National to win by about 4-5 seats over Labour, but with Act gone, and NZ First off the list of partners, they'll struggle to find a coalition.

parliament doesn't rise til 3 october. the committee is meeting next tuesday, i believe they are due to report to parliament on 23 sept (from something dr cullen said during question time this week). in any case, plenty of time for the process to be worked through.

I agree. She made the recitation of policy accomplishments as ordinary as the reading of a grocery list. Way to squander an opportunity with a captive audience.
She was strongest when she recalled how many of those policies had been opposed by National only to be latterly embraced. "Insincere" was a good choice of words.
-
Oh, I'm pretty sure Nov 8th has been the predominant prediction all year....
Obviously, as more and more of the year becomes history, less dates are available.... so there was a broader range of predictions earlier on... it was still the most common.
So, while kudos is due for getting it right..... if bets were being taken it was always the shortest odds, so no more kudos than predicting the favorite will romp home in a race....

Worried about the elction?
Party vote Green.

Heh. Actually, it occurred to me that it doesn't matter that much who wins here, in that we'll still have a modern economy run along conventional lines by people who aren't total nutjobs. Our foreign and trade policies would be virtually unchanged by a change of goverment.
Over there, on the other hand ... I worry that there might be a nutjob a heartbeat away from the big job.

Nah, I'm still worried. And I'm positively unsettled by the your username - what's with the asterisk? I keep looking for a footnote or disclaimer.

are you suggesting that palin might 'shipley' clinton?

Giovani: At least you're unsettled positively.
And - trust me - there are bigger things to worry about.

Really? In the unlikely event Helen Clark ever takes my advice, it's either STFU about National's "secret agenda" and present one of your own NOW, or at least get your story straight. Either John Key is Ruth Richardson in man-drag and therefore to be avoided at all costs, or... well, you in man-drag. Pick a line and stick to it.
Oh, and someone should really grow the spine to ask Clark whether she repealed every piece of legislation she opposed as leader of the Opposition. I'm getting enough high functioning psychosis from the McCain-Palin campaign, and Winston Peters is filling my convenient memory loss needs.

Textual analysis: the PM's statement had 1302 words, nine of which were interesting: "The general election will be held on 8th November."

I've just decided that your foonote is: posters may be closer than they appear.

I choose not to understand what that means.

Would that be the creationism sheila or the bomb, bomb, bomb Iraq geezer?
