  • Hard News: Pomp and Circumstance,

    Apparently a few journos are influenced by the 'sphere and the Hive claims to have been behind a number of stories in the MSM. This could be little more than vainglory, however I'd like to know whether the Hive was just another front for the National Party and whether their writers' connections were disclosed to the media?

    If Kiwiblog ever closed down what on earth would Larry Williams and Leighton Smith do for material for their shows ?

    Um, where Craig?

    How about the thread where Kaye is described as "vacuous 28 year old"

  • Hard News: Congratulations, Mr Key,

    thousands of whom, in Auckland at least, just stayed home this year

    Russell - exactly how many down on last election was the Auckland Central turnout ? I heard Tizard on the radio claiming it was 12,000 down. I find that hard to believe, anyone know ?

    Imagine how well they'd do if the people who actually agree with them on the importance of sustainability, transparency and fairness actually voted for them!

    It would be nice if you could actually assign %'s to your party vote instead of having a single tick.

    I actually don't mind waiting

    I don't think it's in anyone's interest the way the world economies are at the moment if we have a protracted 8 week negotiation process. I actually think there might be a bit of backlash if that happens.

    I've worked for enough tech companies over the year to see this as just being one of the marketting guys - and I have enough stories about those guys to make your hair stand on end - it just runs my BS detector way way up

    If John Key starts giving PowerPoint presentations we're in trouble

    My only hope is that we know who the PM is this time next week.

  • Hard News: God's squads,

    I really almost wish that candidates still did the doorknocking thing

    Nikki Kaye's been round our way, no sign of Judith Tizard, or anyone else for that matter.

    Herne Bay may not have "gentrified" any further but many of the surrounding areas Ponsonby, Grey Lynn and Westmere have.
    Lots of families with young children, Westmere experienced highest birth rate in the country the last couple of years I believe.

    Who was it that said the difference between a liberal and a conservative is having a daughter ?

    Hasn't the AK central boundary changed slightly too, or was that last election ?

    Pt Chev now in Mt Albert instead of Ak Central.

    Guy 2. Oh, been in Jail man.
