Dominique Moisi in the FT: The gold medal for selfishness may once more be given to the Irish, who have followed the ingratitude of their No vote on the Lisbon treaty with absolute contempt towards the search for a collective solution to the financial crisis. The European spirit is low and a “European political will” is lacking.
Cathal Coleman out at my alma mater emailed the details of his adult education course on Democracy this morning. The course is called The Worst Form of Government: Democracy from Plato to Marx and full details are in the pdf.
Bertie at the Tribunal - The Money Trail | Keith @ Granite Shavings
Keith has a great post tying together the threads of Bertie's evidence at the Mahon Tribunal
Obama takes the gloves off and the US Election gets dirtier. Take a gander at his new ad attacking McCain's dirty campaign.
Female Clinton Supporters In Focus Groups See Talent, Mudslinging In Palin’s Speech
Very interesting instant focus grouping of Palin's speech. It remains to be seen how the issue of sexism becomes resolved for the Hillary supporters who remain to be won over - how does Palin need to come across to get support? As tough as the men or picked on - and is she better of playing base politics than worrying about marred Clinton-women in Nevada
cyprian will get a huge number of votes from Bertie. Dont count it out.
RTE radio speculate that the vast bulk of Berties surplus will go to Cyprian and he could still get elected. That would be crazy. Would it be the greatest comeback in election history?
Yeah I’ve changed the headline just to reflect that there’s still a chance that one of them to get in. 939 though is shocking.
Bertie has a huge surplus guys, he’ll bring in a running mate I’d say.
2 FF 1 Lab 1 IND
Eat my words I will - a tally of 2nd preferences says only half of Bertie’s votes are transferring within FF.
Dublin Central is gonna be interesting.
My money’s on FG’s Pascal O’Donoghue at this stage. No way that Cyprian will get in now.
FF excluding Bertie is 2600 plus 60% of surplus is 6200 but prob more than that, still doable but tight. Depends who gets eliminated first.
rte were predicting SF earlier…
doesn’t look like it now
65% of FF 2nd’s went to FF Candidates, 14% to Gregory.
2 seats will be tight but still possible. Brady ahead of Fitzpatrick.
