Just like to point out that the "posted time" on a story on the Herald site is not necessarily a reliable indicator of its availability.
Oooh! Website smackdown!
iirc, there was a few lines from their staff, then something more like a story. I'm pretty sure Stuff was there first with a story.

And the responses include this from Peter Dunne:
"The Prime Minister says this will be an election about who you can trust - she is right. United Future, as the voice of the silent majority, will keep the next government on track, allowing it to earn that trust."
If anyone's in the vicinity, could you be a dear and pop down and throttle him for me?

Ben Thomas at NBR is also picking up on the trust theme.
Bit of a slowcoach, though. He didn't get a column posted until 1.28 pm ;-)

__turn New Zealand into the Lesbos/Cuba of the South Seas__
Actually, that would be great for tourism.
Sorting out the status of the cigars would be a nightmare though.

But I'll stand by my original comment -- Labour gets to pick the line that National is far too right-wing (and to be avoided at all costs) or not right-wing enough (so why bother upsetting the furniture). Not both.
But they get to cover both by saying "you can trust us and you can't trust them". That's why Clark said "trust" eight times in five minutes.

Textual analysis: the PM's statement had 1302 words, nine of which were interesting: "The general election will be held on 8th November."
Heh.
Although it is probably notable that "future" and "trust" were both mentioned eight times each.

To the US if Obama and Key both win? But I like it here.
Heh. Actually, it occurred to me that it doesn't matter that much who wins here, in that we'll still have a modern economy run along conventional lines by people who aren't total nutjobs. Our foreign and trade policies would be virtually unchanged by a change of goverment.
Over there, on the other hand ... I worry that there might be a nutjob a heartbeat away from the big job.

yes, i thought it rough that some journalist questioned whether the standard had prior information, yet didn't mention your predictive powers...
I actually tweaked yesterday's reference to make it clear I didn't get a tip from anyone.
We've had to nut it out so we can plan for the Media7 election special (yes!), and hearing that you can't book a hall that Saturday just confirmed it.

Stuff wins the race to get a substantial story up.
Although the Herald's effort, posted 1 min earlier, does contain the first third-party comment. Rodney Hide, of course.

Okay, go ...
