Personal Election Day traditions?

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

If it's an American election I try to find people who care about it as much as I do to watch it... so 2000 was a bust... but I found Democrats abroad and hung out there for election returns.


For ours, I just sit at home with family and see how predictable yet another election will be.

Very early prediction: Libs 74/ALP 66/NAT 12/IND 2

More then likely right, too

I know from a friend in the NSW Lib Council that polling is not great for them... but it's mostly in seats they don't already hold... I'm told they're anticipating a loss of 5-7 seats.

Lib: 72 ALP: 67 Nat: 13 Ind: 2 ... that could change... but I'm not expecting it to.

Well Down you're young.

Howard will always do better in more conservative/rural areas.

Costello should work better in the mortgage belt, which I think the election will be fought - if interest rates go up further... Many are just outside marginal status... but a swing wouldn't need to be huge or uniform.

Lab needs to win federal seats in QLD DESPERATELY...

Those tassie seats... especially Bass blow with the wind.

The Tas forest issue won't be in 2007.

Morton and Petrie in the Brisbane surrounds are possible... as is Deakin in VIC... Eden Monaro is always going to be worth the effort. I want to put Greenway in there... but the hillsong crowd are too powerful around there.

I'm going to the Democrats Abroad party in Sydney.
