Intrepid poll watchers are noticing a clear trend in
Recalling last years
We are being warned, continually, that it will be a dirty campaign. There has already been the Rudd New York ‘strippergate’, among others.
The latest circulated by some members of the government, charges that one of their ministers is a closet gay. Further it labels said minister’s wife as a ‘beard’; someone who covers for a gay.
Some ‘experts’ are saying the Liberal’s will be running the dirtiest campaign in the country’s history. I guess if they are attacking their own already we might be in for a treat.
On the other hand, the hapless voter doesn’t seem to be taking that particular bait. I guess there is no real point telling people what they already know, that politics is sleazy.
Given politics is my favourite sport I’d like to be able to put up an argument. Unfortunately the smell of power does seem to reek of something more earthy.

Wait...did you say "will be running the dirtiest campaign"? You mean it hasn't started yet? Isn't your election only a few months away?
Oh to be Australian. The campaign may be dirty, but it's mercifully short.
froggy, it's about the legals now. There are no candidates until registrations are called on the day the election is announced.
I'm thinking the dirty campaign might just die in the arse if it doesn't reflect in the polls, but I doubt it :(
