 FINALLY, the election is called. Hurray for democracy! Now instead of being bombarded with ads about how great the Coalition government is, we'll be bombarded with ads about how great the Coalition government is AND ads about how much Kevin Rudd sucks! Yippee!
 Meanwhile, is anyone else a little concerned by the general smugness of those who intend to vote Labor? Maybe I just read too much of the Sydney Morning Herald letters page, but there seems to be an attitude that Rudd will inevitably prevail and Howard will be embarrassingly trounced. Hmmm. I'm not 100% sure about that, actually - I was so crushed by the last federal election result that I feel like it's a good idea to mentally prepare myself for Howard's return to power. It'll take the full six weeks to erect a Smug Shield mighty enough to deflect Alexander Downer's victorious smirk.
Addendum: Apparently Howard and Rudd are planning to debate this Sunday at 7.30pm. Come on, guys... that's Idol time! (And can Labor please can it with the requests for YouTube debates? It just reeks of an embarrassing "Aww, dad"-like attempt at being cool.) |
