#1 Its a long way from over. With the single greens guy signing up with the labor party, it is now 73 firm seats to each side. There are four independent newly elected MPs that remain to be ~~bought~~ convinced to join one side or the other.

Julia Gillard had announced after the election that Labor had the highest 2 party preffered vote, and so had the moral right to rule. Since then the percentages have swung back and forth. At one point this morning, after more than 11 million votes were counted, the conservative side was ahead by just 8 votes. 8 out of 11 million. Now thats one finely tuned electorate.

Damn close, and still too close to call.

#2 Time to call in Sen. Franken (D-Felons) and show them how to "find" bags of filled out ballots in the back of a candidates' car.

Yeah, that'll work. Now we're stuck with him for 6 years.

P.S. Yesterday he assaulted a reporter for asking him for an interview. He's a real classy guy.
