About LinkBacksIts nonsense to suggest that O'Dea could be leader of Fianna Fáil, utter nonsense.
At this moment in time the only likely winners in a contest would be Hanafin or Cowen. I currently favour Mary Hanafin.

Yea Mary Would whip 'em all into shape!!
next Maggie Thatcher I'd Say
Personally though I'd favour one of my own TDs, Mr Cowen.
A man with vision and pragmatism, very necessary tools for leading this country into a third term.

Pat Rabbitte ?
It must be nearly time for him to change parties again :wink:
1,197 people agree with me.. how many agree with you ?
Because that worked spectacularly well!Originally Posted by livingstone
One thing that Fianna Fail does well is that when they change leader, the new leader is the leader. Any helpful attempts by predecessors to rule from retirement are treated with ruthless brilliance. Remind me again why Mary Mac is president........
Una duce una voce - there will be no nibling the leaders bum in FF!
If there was a Four way contest for the leadership between O'Dea, D.Ahern,Cowen and Hannifan--with the usual back room deals and threats of exposing past scandals that were covered up in the past--the black mail,the bribes and the favours called in---when it was all over O'Dea would be the only one left standing--despite his appearance--hes one tough and ruthless little Bstard
The crown above the red hand is that of the O'Neill rulers of Ulster---not the Saxe-coborg gotha usurpers crown
Ok here it is at a very early stage,
O' Dea - No chance. 100/1
Hannifin - Possibility. 12/1
Cowen - Ugly that he is, favourite. 10/1
Aherne - Joint Favourite. 10/1
Dark horses have won races before.

Out of interest, did anyone run against Bertie in 94 or Albert in 92? I think Mary O Rourke ran in 92 but not sure, and cant find anything on the contest (if there was one) of 94.
