Hi Kennas, It seems wealth isn't too much of an obstacle. Therese may be the one with the cash, but I'm sure she gives Kev decent pocket money. Funny how Kev has been able to minimise the 'loaded' label and Turnbull is always portrayed as Richie Rich. Turnbull is indeed their only hope, but I think it would suit him better to have the dirty nappy a bit later.

What about the mutterings suggesting Costello might take the helm?

Well, if he doesn't hurry up and gazump Turnbull's looming ascendancy, Costello, too, might shortly in turn become a Turnbull-styled "gazillionaire" - wot with massive proceeds expected from his memoirs and chairmanships of various private entities.... geez, his pending "retirement" package would almost get him to "gazillionaire" status already!

Of course, if he DOES return, performs less than expected and the Newspolls show little change in the Libs fortunes, they will end up with both egg AND bacon on their faces.... :)

Gidday AJ. Yep he must be pretty happy financially.

How about a Costello/Turnbull combo? Now there would be the battle of the egos!

Hang on a mo... wot about a supersized FRASER/FISCHER Combo. Now THAT would be a gourmet's delight - plenty of "mature" beef and lamb with oodles of "seasoning".... yummmmm! :)

LOL

Who are Fraser and Fischer?

Will we all be keen to buy Mr Costello's memoirs when his already much touted book comes out in, I think, October?
Should be a good read.
 
Ooops!

I guess I'm really showing my age now, eh?

In the dim, dark past of OZ politica, there once woz a swingin' sheep ownin' PM dude called Mal Fraser. He woz the one who was "pantsed" at some convention or sumfink..

And Timmy Fischer woz of Mal's ilk too. He woz Leader of the then mighty Nationals (who were they? you may well ask now!)

Really, ATM the Coalition could do considerably worse than recalling these two learned gentiles!

Right now, it's back to the US Democratic Primaries in Pennsylvania and Indiana - Polls have just closed. "Networks unable to make an early call".
Before today: Obama - 1645, Clinton 1507.

Hillary Clinton projected winner in Pennsylvania. Margin of victory not yet known.
Unofficial estimates give Hillary Clinton 53.2%, Barack Obama 46.8%.
 
20% of votes counted in Pensylvania: Hillary Clinton 53.2% - Barack Obama 46.8%.

Clinton needs to win by at least 10% to confidently go forward.

Next primaries are in North Carolina and Indiana.

50% of the votes counted: Hillary Clinton 54.2% - Barack Obama 45.8%.

Approximately 60% of those voting were women, in accordance with exit polls.

Hillary Clinton makes her victory speech in a few minutes.

Obama takes train out, heads for Indiana for May 6th election.
 
Election result in Pensylvania on Tuesday (99% of votes counted): Hillary Clinton 55% (52 delegates, total including superdelegates 1,556), Barack Obama 45% (46 delegates, total including superdelegates 1,694). Included in totals are: Obama 230 superdelegates, Clinton 254 superdelegates.
Required to win, 2,025 delegates.

Obama has the money to carry on and the lead in delegates. Clinton probably has slightly more momentum now but her campaign is seriously in debt.

If you don't mind me saying so, - your posts here are very misleading.

Is this just wishful thinking on your part ?

Obama takes Nth Carolina, Clinton holds onto Indiana
By Washington correspondent Michael Rowland

Posted 5 hours 6 minutes ago
Updated 4 hours 10 minutes ago
Hillary Clinton's already slim hopes of winning the Democratic presidential nomination have faded even further after a disappointing performance in the latest primaries.

The former first lady was trounced by rival Barack Obama in the North Carolina primary and she barely squeaked to victory in the pivotal Indiana contest.

There's one last thing she has to do - and that is to lose graciously !

And just how the loser loses after such a drawn out battle will go a long way to determining whether the winner succeeds in november

* I'm sure Noirua's post was accurate at the time of posting

* Ergo, not misleading.

* A stunning implied assumption. I don't see any bias in Noirua's posts to the level of, say... your's.

* Your post seems to have the intention of being inflammatory.

Puuuullleeeeeze!
