Biffo for Taoiseach???

[Wolverine]

If I vote Bertie, will I be getting the Clara Monster as my Taoiseach?

Hopefully - he's so sour and sullen that it would be a John Brutonesque situation all over again.

WOD would be worse (i.e. better) though...

Lenihan for taoiseach

He might well be - but not this time round.

My problem with him isn't really his appearance but I just don't see him as leadership-material. A face on a poster counts (though it shouldn't) but also, there's the fact that he seems to have failed to grasp public-opinion on stamp-duty - I don't find it credible that he always wanted the reform of stamp-duty - which I regard as a U-Turn by FF driven by desperation. I think a future Taoiseach needs certain qualities. Admittedly we have had Taoisigh in the past that weren't lookers e.g. W.T. , but that was then and this is now.

W.T. wasn't taoiseach, he was president of the executive council :P

You wouldn't think it now, but Biffo was an excellent footballer in his youth, represented Offaly (then a force in the land) up to U-21 level, before becoming a TD at a relativey young age, upon the death of his father.
I like the way he doesn't bother being nice or dumbing down, though it clearly bothers others here.

Cowen is not particularly vulnerable to the likes of Enda Kenny on GAA issues, though Kenny too "inherited" a seat from his father who died (relatively) young. Henry Kenny won an All Ireland with Mayo in 1936, and was central to their 6 in a row league team of that era.

The resemblance doesn't extend to intellect though.... Cowen is streets ahead, for what it's worth.

[Fr. Hank Tree]

Well in fairness, politics isn't about intellect...

Anyway Enda Kenny is no fool

Same difference.
