Political Cliché No 94: "A Week Is A Long Time In Politics"

And so it has proven to be in the last seven days. Bertie's campaign, having gotten off to a bizarre start with the early-Sunday-morning dash to The Park, has descended into farce. Michael McDowell's press conference yesterday has pretty much put the kybosh on the PDs going back into government with an Ahern-led FF. In truth, yesterday's press conference has effectively brought McDowell's brief tenure at the helm of the PDs to an end. He admitted to have been sold a pup by Bertie Ahern last year, and so his credibility is in shreds.


This election is now Fine Gael/Labour's to lose. If they do lose it, then they might as well just give up and go home.
