Who will win the donegal SW Bye election?

Donegal South-West is about the only place in Ireland where FF could still top a poll. But then, this is the place that voted Mary Coughlan into the Dail so if FF stick a sticker on a donkey, we can expect another jackass in the Dail. What a wretchedly impoverished place.

Never insult the electorate. People who do that are only people who cant explain their own failings. Same applies to Pat Rabbitte who said the people of Ireland were in "a funny mood" when they voted in the 2007 election.

He's got himself a lot of publicity lately but I still wouldn't regard him as the frontrunner. Barry O'Neill to win methinks but Pearse will make it at the General.

He has a chance all right but O' Neill is losing alot of ground to Doherty. And it is likely now the polling day will be in the next few months so Doherty's gathering momentum at the right time. O' Neill was getting alot of press earlier this year after his nomination and apparently has been doing alot of canvassing since then, but this past while he hasn't been at the races at all.
