I’m no where as optimistic as you guys of a win and have had a bad feeling about it for 3 weeks now regardless of the polling due mainly to the biased MSM and the difficulty selling something that didn’t happen as an achievement. The bright spot for me though is the amount of young women who will vote for Julia. I’m still at nearly 100% labor yes with women under 30 in western Sydney. I ask them about their friends and they say most of them are voting for Julia as well. A woman told me last night she believed some conservative types will vote for her secretly purely based on gender.

My rigid right wing mates wife will vote for Gillard much to his disgust and so will her friends and this is in Lindsay as are a lot of the women who I have spoken to. My assesment after spending a month probing and haranging people in the west here is there is dissapointment about Rudd but they are generally over it and ones who arn’t are going to vote for the greens as they dislike Abbott. My entire family are voting for the greens except for me, even the right voter and swinging voters are as well.

PS: My wife has only just realised Abbott is a creep and that came about after she watched an add that quoted one of his misogynistic remarks.

this constant mantra make me sick to the stomach

If I had a company with turnover $1,000,000 a year, I earned $300,000 revenue, and then borrowed $40,000 to update my server/workstations? would any half decent (brain-dead) businessman (typical lib voter) say I was getting in over my head???? sheer madness.

vote loss to Greens by there cynical popularism & carping OFF Labor polisys to steal Labor primarys

Ooh vicious Ron. You can turn a phrase.
That’s the spirit!
Yes I am a cynic.

Oh good, at least the meme “she didn’t lose” will be in the media tomorrow => best case scenario. If the rabid rabbott had won by 1 vote it would be plastered WALL-to-WALL all over the MSM:
phew, jules is in
