The dying days of the Fourth Reich: it's the 2007 AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL ELECTION

No church scandals yet but there's still two days. C'mon Ghost of Christmas Past, your work is incomplete.

Bronwyn Bishop warns voters of the dangers of a socialist government

WE ARE TWO STEPS AWAY FROM "RUDD EATS BABIES".

"socialist government"? Thats a laff, how can Labor me "me too" and "socialist" all at once. This is all so dumb.

And the economy being BEST EVAR and OMGTSUNAMI at the same time.

If you think Labor won't win, read this for a reality check. I already have alcohol and chocolate on stand-by.

OMG:

Outgoing Liberal MP Jackie Kelly has dismissed the alleged distribution of bogus race-based election material by her husband as a "Chaser-style prank".

Ms Kelly, whose husband Gary Clark has been implicated in the distribution of the bogus document, said her first instinct when she saw the pamphlet was to laugh.

Yeah right, you stupid fucking cow.

And I love the way that when even the most peripheral union person says something, it's immediately attributed to Rudd by the Liberals, but when Liberal party officials and MPs husband's make an outrageous, racist bullshit claim, it's NOTHING TO DO WITH US (see shithead Andrew Robb on Lateline last night).

if that is a prank it is not chaser-style humour so much as elle mcfeast-style humour, i.e. not humour.

They're fucked.

Seriously, the only chance they had was a successful campaign in the final week. This week has been an unmitigated disaster.

AND IT'S THURSDAY.

HAHAHA HOLY SHIT WHAT IS THIS:

Hahaha, hilarious!

I am trying to work out if Domain's been haxx0red or if someone who works for Fairfax or whoever it is is a sneaky bastard. Bet it wont be there long.

How did you find it?

SOmeone on LJ posted the link. I'm wondering what the hell it is and how it is still there all these hours later :D

Using Bronwyn Bishop in a fear campaign warning people to be fearful of anything except Bronwyn Bishop, is internally counter-productive.

Can anyone tell me about these nutbars?

EDITORIAL RECOMMENDATION FUN

Daily Telegraph: Labor
SMH: Labor
Courier Mail: Labor
Australian: Labor (?!?!?!!?!!?!?!?!?!?!!?!!!)
Herald Scum: Coalition
Age: Undecided (?!?!?!?!?!!!)
Westralian: Coalition

the minutes crawl by...

Centrebet:

Labor $1.22
Coalition $4.35

According to Sportingbet CEO Michael Sullivan, the only reason they stop there is that there's no real gain in putting money on Labor when you'll only win $1.22 for each dollar. It fluctuates occasionally when some nutter whacks a princely sum on the Coalition simply because the winning would be enormous.

In other words, PWND

I mean seriously, that's some ridiculous odds there.

Add to that the fact that all 300-odd polls since March show a Labor win (even today's weird 52/48 Galaxy poll showing a counter-intuitive Coalition gain*) and Labor's all over this thang.

* don't worry, today's Nielsen is more reliable and shows a 57/43 split to Labor, which is a massive 24-seat win

OKAY I AM IMPATIENT NOW.

You guys have got to see the websites this morning.

ABC: "Labor still ahead on election eve"
SMH: "Howard needs a miracle"
Age: "It's time, say voters"
Herald Scum: "Photo finish" (deluded, honestly)
Telegraph: "Half a chance" (meaning Howard)

(I left off some states because the websites are not responding)

That's rather good for something idly drawn in a staff meeting!

It was a loooooooong meeting.

Hahah thats worthy of a panel in the Age! :)

111 Kirribilli is still up on the Domain website - amazing.

^^totes jocular.

jocular.

Mr Wolpe said there had been no requests to pull the advertisement.

!!! So theyre fully aware of it at Fairfax. AWESOME!

I think I'm going to be very maudlin if Labor don't win.

I'm going to be extremely baffled and want to know what thehell is going on, man.

The polls are confusing, especially that galaxy one. I don't think I've ever cared so much about the outcome.

Yeah I assume everyone who has posted on this thredd will be bummed if Labor loses. Although I couldn't care less if my Labor mp loses. She is idiot.

My local labor MP is incumbent and pretty likely to win - he's been the MP for port phillip for f'never. And like, sif St Kilda would ever vote Liberal ffs.

Galaxy is duff, Kate.

I will be totally fucking pissed off if Labor doesn't win.

Well up until the last 24 hours I was thinking about buying some booze to celebrate the new government Saturday night...now I am worried I'll just be drinking...to forget.

there's a dan kelly song just for that occasion.. "drunk on election night" - it's about the 2004 election and uses very colourful language to describe the libs..

I haven't been drunk since New Years Eve 2006. I think, to quote the 1972 Whitlam campaign: It's Time.

to quote the 1972 Whitlam campaign:

There's been a lot of that.

Just hope it goes the same way....you know, without the dismissal.

Yesterday my loopy right-wing father-in-law said "I don't mind Kevin Rudd."

THIS IS PROOF LOOK IT IS IN THE PUDDING.

xpost Yer. I don't trust Howard to not pull a stunt like that, so hopefully the little fuck retires instantly.

Gerard Henderson of the shady Sydney Institute has predicted a Coalition win with 45% of the two party preferred vote. um, wtf??
