    The more I think about it, the more inclined i am to vote against Gallagher.. because he's not old enough...

    The guts of it for me .. with such a dire selection.. is who will cost least with the lovely pension they're going to get.

    Valid point, on the flip side i over heard a conversation at work between 2 young lads, one said he was voting for Micheal D because he was old and if he died in office we would get a day off for his state funeral.

    You have to love that sort of logic:D

    At least they're applying logic, which lots of people don't seem to bother doing!

    My views are known. He is too old and it's not the image we need right now.

    I think MDH has a serious physical image problem that actually does make alot of the electorate wary and prepared for the inevitable hobbit leprechaun persona jokes that will emerge internationally if he wins.


    He is also, IMO, the most cynical candidate of them all. And he got an outrageously easy ride in the media.
