Noel O'Flynn

[ManOfReason]

John Browne - Wexford

Unfortunately.

[new face]

As there is a guarnteed FF seat in Sligo N Leitrim, Scanlon will replace Devins,
Sligo Town will not make the mistake of having no town based canditate so there is a free seat there
Fg are also guarnteed 1 seat and again people realise the mistake of having 2 TD in the 1 rural area, so perry to lose out to a N Sligo, N Leitrim based FG canditate.

[jmcc]

Cowen - probably on personal votes.
O'Dea - again on personal votes.
Cullen - Minister For The South East.

Not sure about the rest.

bertie aherne has truly F***** our party alright............

reading the list makes for a sobering tought.........english liberal party in particular springs to mind.

Must agree that the possibility is there to loose both seats in dublin north - kennedy will fall to the 'curse of the poll topper' whilst o'brien will loose due to the strength of coyles vote in malahide (indeed only for rabitte messing up and backing ryan to the hilt in 07, obrien would never have been elected td)..........

In DSW however...I can see both seats going due to Conor falling to the same curse as kennedy in north and oconnor retiring with NOBODY WHATSOEVER to replace him.......funny thing tho I can see someone like lahart or corrigan being 'parachuted' into dsw to make up for the lack of candidates.........

sad times ahead....and a firey ard feis in prospect

sad times ahead....and a firey ard feis in prospect

Will FF parachute Fiona O'Malley into a safe seat or drop her on Harney's old constituency? Or is there a more terrifying prospect in store for FF - that there are no FF safe seats left?

they stuck together, they should sink together. personally cullen and roche are the two l want to see the back of.

[leroy42]

Cyprian Brady is on the list!!!

Not the greatest political jacket, but didn't he only get in because of transfers from the special one last time.

With BertLIE not running, surely the seat is a gonner?

However, I would say that with everypassing day the likelyhood of a GE is disappearing. FF know that they are in the sh1t, but are deluding themselves (well thats the message anyway) that its down to unpopular decisions and nobody said that leaders had to be liked. Since the figures are near meltdown anyway, what harm to hold on for the entire term and hope that things turn around and they can claim credit.

There's one seat certain in Cork North Central and that would go to Billy Kelleher. He substantially outpolled O'Flynn last time out and if it got to the point where transfers from other parties were deciding it, he's a lot more likeable than Noel O'Flynn.

I notice you have Batt O'Keeffe there. In the event of FF going down to one seat in Cork NW, it would be Moynihan to retain the seat. O'Keeffe's vote is a very soft FF vote based around Ballincollig and would be the sort that would switch party. Moynihan has a much more traditional rural FF vote and at present they seem to be holding that better.
