This is by no means a complete list of good sites. Its size is a function of my (in)competence. Will work it out eventually.

Has Westpoll ever said anything good for Labor?? The trend continues..
Why is this Mickey Mouse?
It suggests a slight swing to the Coalition in WA, which is what many pundits expect even if the rest of the country goes the other way.
And catalyst, Labor is just not popular in WA right now at either level. Simple as that. No need for endless conspiracy theories.
MDMC: Hover you mouse over Mickey and you’ll get the answer.
Catalyst, Westpoll had Labor 54-46 ahead a week before the state election which they lost in 2008. Has it occurred to you that Labor doing badly in Westpoll might have something to do with Labor doing badly in Western Australia? The problem with Westpoll is not that it’s biased, it’s that all over the place because the sample is so small.
Anyone heard about this ‘exclusive Morgan-7News poll’ showing Coalition leading 51.5% on 2PP? (http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/newshome/7484727/shock-poll-as-labor-support-slides/).
Seems a bit strange to me given so out-of-whack with other polls.
Thoughts???
Labor angst breaking out across the blogosphere.
I recall Richo on qanda talking about Rudd being a genius when it came to appointing Libs as ambassadors some months ago and today in the Australian he is a jerk who had it coming.
Wonder how many sentimental appearances by Rudd will happen in the next 5 weeks to remind voters of the regicide.
5 weeks is awfully long for a manufactured honeymoon – week 4 & 5 will be very interesting.
As the expert on the matter Peter, What do you make of the former prime ministers continuing to tweet after having lost it all? I don’t imagine pollies do it for the fun of it but PR exercise seems pretty pointless for him now. I’m not floating an unlikely return possibility by the way I just find it bizarre.
I’m no expert on the human mind Lentern, but I imagine he really does appreciate the tweets of support he’s been getting (and there have been a lot of nice ones).
Having lived in WA over thirty years I can never really recall Labor being popular- just an observation folks, not a conpiracy theory.
