    In the words of Enda : " Dream on, baby ", 3 out of 4 in NC ? Anyway, sure won't you be the most famous author in SF by then ?

    I'd be sceptical. Your exit polls a few hours before the 2007 elections were dismal (ask poor Dan Boyle) so 2012 predictions may be somewhat ambitious.

    Thats three gains from LP. Two from FF and Jim O Keefe to lose his seat?

    3 FG TD's in CNC-what are you smoking???

    I wouldnt be surprised if Bernard calls it a day but he's stated himself he intends contesting. Id be very surprised if Colm Burke was to give up a sweet number as MEP to run-unless your indicating that another member of the Burke family will be running.

    I cant see Paddy going on after this Dáil. He'd be pushing eighty sure in 2012 thats if he's not pushing up daisies by then!!!

    Possible, but on the unlikely side of unlikely.

    What? Three out of four? Don't think so.

    Cork East Stanton Bradford
    Maybe. It keeps nearly happening.

    Cork SW Sheehan
    79-year-old PJ, or the son?

    Cork N Murphy Creed
    Should be.

    The majority cannot therefore be the elite.

    Way more chance of FG getting two in NW rather than three in NC.

    Oh wait, I've just seen who started the thread...

    FF have gotten more votes in CNW for the last 3 elections. It would take an 8% swing from FF straight to FG for them to get a second seat. I don't see it. Gerard Murphy didn't even get a Seanad seat.

    A lot of Donal Moynihan's vote is personal and would go to Michael Creed if he weren't to stand. If he didn't stand, I couldn't see the sitting FF TDs permitting a third name on the ticket.

    A hell of a lot more would go to Michael Moynihan and Especially Batt O'Keefe. Creed can get all the votes in the world but unless the secondFGer gets votes they won't get 2 seats. Gerard Murphy, an incumbant couldn't get in this time, if FG were ever going to take 2/3 it would have been this election. CNW is becoming FF territory like Mayo is going from FF to FG, these things happen.
