Time for a new thread. Here’s a chart showing state-level swings to Labor as recorded by Newspoll throughout the campaign. Note that the most recent result seems to indicate a mild Coalition recovery in Victoria being offset by worsening results elsewhere.

Yeh – people get spat on – at the Liberal booths.
Das ist richtig George.
We’re all going to learn Madarin if Rudd wins.
Very busy, it’s hard to judge at pre polls. Although have had good comments.
Chairman Rudd
It’s gotta be better than putting up with General Wenck’s infernal ramblings in Deutsch…
Yeah steven Kaye
Only a smug little specimen grub Journo would ask a question to the PM about the future of the planet. His response, as you breathlessly report, (as always) was a Joke. But it brought the house down…well done rodent! Keep churning out all that crap. We’re not going to die tomorrow are we Steven. Got any children?
Sean are you part of a working family?
oi let’s keep it like a poker table, English only. It’s great that some of you speak other languages but how are us lurkers supposed to follow?
Fisher and Ryan falling?
Now that I’d like to see…
Eisene Kanzler Rudd
Democrats MySpace page pulled

HAHAHAHAHAAHH
107 Sean The audience was full of Liberal supporters. Didn’t you notice the way they tried to intimidate reporters when asking about Lindsay?
John of M – If the Libs win, I’m going to buy AC Neilsen or Newspoll – they’ll be going cheap!
Ok you guys my shock of the election will be Forde to the National Party.
Glen sagt “Der Krieg ist fast verloren” …. Bestimmt! But it’s not warfare: happily it is an election.
I’ll stop speaking German if Glen does
Alex good point.
I’m part of TWO working families.
Also, as of today:
I weigh 80 KG. On day 1 of the campaign I weighed 86.
My goal by election day was 79, but 80 is pretty good.
Glen wo sind der Rathaus?
Natürlich
ShowsOn
Go for 100+ on polling day
“George nicht unbedingt wir gewinnen können, wird es hart, und es wird eng, aber Sie wissen nie, Wenk Mai zur Rettung kommen, nachdem alle.”
Not necessarily, we can win, it will be hard and tight but you never know, General Wank may come to the rescue after all.
This is a translation from atrocious German. If Glen were a dog, he would be a german mongrel.
putting on 20 kgs in 2 days would not be healthy.
John Hunt…google translate can only do so much lol!
for those interested?
and the letter is weirder than the lindsay crap

113 Chris B – Did you see the furious glare on Michelle Grattan’s face directed at rent-a-lib when they heckled her for asking another question about the Lindsay fiasco?
So has Kevin07 got up off the floor ans stopped laughing yet?
Google is a german mongrel dog
Having all those Libs cheering did more harm than good.
The journalists couldn’t help themselves im glad she and others got a kick in the pants for not sticking to the issues.
When it rains it pours…
The Commonwealth Bank has announced that they will be increasing home loan interest rates AGAIN. They have already increased them in response to last weeks rate rise, so this will be on top of that! No mention of how much the rise will be though. How many nails are in Johnny’s coffin now?
Issue du Jour Glen – PamphletHateMuslimsGate
Glen
Are you saying the Lib muckraking in Lindsay is not an issue?
If you think what the tories did in Lindsay was bad that was nothing compared to this.

Muslims irked by Italian senator’s “pig” comments
“A far-right Italian senator outraged Muslims on Thursday by calling for a “Pig Day” protest against the planned construction of a mosque in northern Italy.”
Can I just say this – the GG is for turning!!!
Have you all noticed the not so subtle shift in the last few days?
Glen,
Stop shooting the Messenger.
Howard is dead, kaput, finished.
and how ironic that the candidate for Lindsay was a former Police Officer, and Kelly was in the airforce.
Great morals there.
Funnily enough ESJ I am and I really can’t get enough of the phrase. Rudd I think is underutilising it. What with both parents being absorbed into the workforce with no attendant compensation, child care that costs a fortune, the fact that user pays is the predominant Howard ethos and AWA’s are set to force our noses to the grindstone even more I think its an accurate description of the modern family – maybe not in vaucluse though.
Not an important one no, managing the economy, IR, climate change, national security they are more important Geepee.
Glen @ 135, why are you talking about Italian politics?
Isn’t it funny that in what is likely to be John Howard’s last parliamentary speech, he was defending the government against a dirty tricks campaign, yet it turned out to be completely true.
gusface: The letter sounds like something straight out of the EB.

-”Vote Liberal. Here, have a how to vote card.”
-”Is this one authorised or one of the ‘other’ Liberal publications?”
I’ll be greeting them with “Ala akbar!”
The Australian doesn’t manage the economy. There are no levers left Glen, Hawke and Keating got rid of them because they were holding us back.
Glen,
1 managing the economy – f*cked up skills, inflation, interest rates
2 IR – not sure why you would bring this up, but hey, it’s your funeral
3 climate change – again, your point?
4 national security – Australia is the Control of Maxwell Smart fame
“they are more important Geepee.”
Agree with you
130 ShowsOn Yes I did, and I also wondered whether some reporters were intimidated.
Glen – after consuming a huge amount of celebratory grog on Saturday night, I’ll probably be speaking Russian and blogging in syrillics!
George – it is an easier thing to do than trying to defend the indefensible
The reporters have a good way of coming back in the articles they write over the next 2 days.
Glen @ 131 – [The journalists couldn’t help themselves im glad she and others got a kick in the pants for not sticking to the issues.]
They weren’t journalists Glen – who among them would dare heckle the matriarch of political commentators and risk that look? Not even GS or GM.
