"Mike Rann on knife-edge as Liberals draw level with Labor":

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/na ... 5838449863

Probably explains why Rann has been dishing up some extreme policy proposals of late. As predicted trying to 'out-right' the right wingers. Proof these next two weeks are going to be rough. Tough on crime! public hangings for hoon drivers. Thinking about a bit of gay sex in public? Turbo Tom will be there in a jiffy to "jot down your number plate". Thinking about hiring an R rated movie? Mick Atkinson will be waiting for you on your doorstep when you get home (if you exist of course). Who knows how low they will go but it's going to get ugly.

"Isobel express steaming on":

It's time!

Antony Green's analysis:

Good analysis by Poll Bludger's William Bowe:

Rann is really looking more and more tired, old and worn out.

Just does not seem to have the drive and enthusiusm anymore.

Izzy on the other hand is much more upbeat and positive.

I think the people of S.A are finally starting to see it at last!!!

As I have mentioned elsewhere, I reckon once people get to the polling booth they will chicken out and vote Labor.

or they might just say "**** it - Im sick of this lying prick"

but I think you might be right fish

Hey - prick gets through

LMAO at this quote from the text.

The Liberals have also hit static over the future of the Royal Adelaide Hospital, where they are proposing a $700,000 expansion in place of a $1.7 billion Labor plan to replace it with an entirely new facility.

Now I know there's been some argy bargy about costings, but missing 3 zeros is something else!

Well Crikey isn't really taken seriously is it?

Well if that's a Crikey costing of the Lib's proposed expansion, then it can't be taken seriously at all.

How can 3 zeros go missing?

btw Bowe is considered one of the best psephologists in the country. It was obviously a simple mistake that the first commenter on the article pointed out.

Go and ask a politician or a political journalist

I'm sure it was a typo Gozu - just a very funny one.

How many psephologists are there in Australia? I don't know of any beyond Antony Green.

Malcolm Mackerras also.
