Election 2011 Offical Thread.

I think it's a bit foolish to run 2 candidates where the old FF/FG conservatism will shine through. I suppose they may be targetting a few years down the line.

SF did this in louth prior to Arthur Morgan getting in.

Well Belmullet and Castlebar are an hour apart so there's not that much crossover and, its not as if they ought to worry about splitting the SF vote, that'll stay in party anyway. Surprised Gerry Murray from Charlestown is not running, he's the party's best candidate in the county in my opinion, although Rose Conway-Walsh has plenty of potential too.

just watched wooden head doesnt seem like there was much support in the audience for the finance bill although the whole panel bar sinn fein sound like they are gonna give it the green light. this could change when gilmore gets up tomorrow morning

2 SF candidates in Mayo I believe. Rose Conway-Walsh from Belmullet and another Castlebar lady, I don't know her name.

Therese Ruane I'd say - sister of Catriona Ruane.

Thats right, they played mixed doubles Tennis with Enda Kenny and I think Harry Barrett (Lab) for charity in Castlebar there last year.

Bit of dilemma for some Louth fans now that Fitzer is standing, can they see past party politics and vote FG?

SS I think you`ll have to go with the €500 deposit, I cant see you finding 30 people who are literate in Longford to be honest.

I think you'll find it easier to find people who can string a sentence together in Longford than in your part of the woods.  Speaking as someone familiar with both territories.

Anyone catch Joan Burton's performance on Vincent Browne last night?

Joe Higgins has probably won a few thousand first preference votes in Dublin West by just sitting there with a big smile on his face!

Didn't see it but the posters on politics.ie were far from impressed. Was it anything specific she said or just came across badly in general?
How did the other panelists do?
No - Burton, Higgins & Coveney

jeysus wept, i would say the EU boys are bricking it right now, it's a wonder the euro rate has fallen through the floor

Labour has had a tough few days. Roisin Shortall was reduced to screeching wreak on the Week in Politics on Sunday night, Mary Lou took Ruairi Quinn down a few pegs on Newtalk, that clown on the Front Line last night will never be allowed near a television camera again and then the Burton meltdown on Vinny last night. Slap it up the traitorous pricks.

[Harold Disgracey]

Saw that last night, she was a complete disaster. The Après Match boys would have proud of that.
