Just about time to break out the red wine, order the pizza and warm up the TV. The hints I’ve seen over at Tim’s about exit polls aren’t encouraging, but we’ll just have to watch and wait.

i’m supposed to be studying, but instead am biting my nails and refreshing abc.net.au/elections every minute or so. i don’t recall ever being this tense about an election before.
An election loss for the LN/P would be an adverse refferendum on the Coalition’s Culture War and the Coalition of the Willings War on Terror.
An election win for thhe LN/P would simply be politics as usual ie the party with the right trade off of wealthfare property and welfare equity policies wins.
The LN/P seem to have struck the right balance between foreign fear and domestic greed.
