Spoken with one of paddy kennedy aides recently i was informed that paddy will let his name go forward.my view this is not good news for sean power.
paddy wouldnt be winning a dseat but he wuld grabe votes in newbridge, where he is based, and rathangan where he is from, as a newbridge candidaTE HE WOULD DAMEG POWER, BUT WOULD ALSO Chip a few votes off o fearghaill in rathangan

So what do people know about the nominations / trends / movements for the North.
Presumably FF will run Brady + 1. Is FitzPatrick going to leave as he said given the dismal outing of little Fitz? If not him who? Our own dear Croppyboy (James Lawless) Have FF any chance of holding 2 on the national trends. Is there any chance they could lose both?
Who will Durkan back out of Naas Scully / Lawlor and which has the better chance? Is Durkan committed to continuing his efforts to avoid winning 2 FG seats at all costs?
Will Labour run McNamara with Stagg and have they any hope or interest in 2 seats? Will Eamonn G bring back his friend Catherine to the fold? Will Stagg be retired?
Will Catherine get in as an independent and back EG from there?
Comments & obs please
Has he taken leave of his sences?
If Paddy runs in a General Election as an Independent he'll be letting himself in for a woeful ass-whooping!!!
A General Election is a seriously different animal to a Local Election!
And the next General Election will see a national polarisation of votes to the three main parties Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and Labour and away from Independents, Greens, Sinn Fein etc.
Paddy is a sound man and a hard working local politician but in a General Election scenario he won't make much of a dent in Sean Power's vote. Neither will he have much of an impact in Rathangan as he wouldn't be seen as a serious contender. Either way his family are Fianna Fail in background, and most of what he does get will transfer back in that direction.
Many of the anti-Fianna Fail posters on here seem to be losing sight of the high regard that both of Kildare South's sitting Fianna Fail T.D.'s are held in, despite the recent tarnishing of the Fianna Fail brand.

No hope for Catherine I'm afraid.
Fianna Fail will run Brady, and more than likely Fitzpatrick. Believe it or not Brady could prove the weak link here. But it depends how the sitting opposition T.D.'s do thing's if Stagg and Durkan both decide to use their influence to have weaker running mates on the ticket with them to ensure their personal seats with transfers, leaving just one T.D. each for Labour and Fine Gael thus giving Fianna Fail a second seat.

Who do you see as the weaker of the two FG possibilities?
