That reminds me, how is President-elect Cathcon's preparations going for next week? 
As for the Senate seat, you guys face a problem similar to what the right faces in the same contests, though nowhere near as severe. That is why most probably expected Fezzy to win, but it was Nappy who position himself closer to the center then Griff and was able to cobble together a winning coalition together from a diverse range of parties. I mean you could go all Tony Blair and stuff and possibly avoid this in the future, but you have to decided whether that is what the purpose of Labor is or not.
I'm with NC Yankee on that one. We obviously just got a President elected, that's not so bad. Plus I don't think our goal is to get a Labor majority in the Senate : this would mean we diluted our ideology so much so that we would be mainstream enough to please everybody. Well I say happily we do not please everybody, cause we have principles and fight for them.
