Important questions

[xenith]

Who are the bigger fools:  the talking heads trying to make predictions with 1.6% of the vote counted, or us for watching them?


Also, why are different stations displaying such markedly different results?

No comment on the first item. On the second, have you seen Karl Rove in any of the media coverage? :)

Either way, "Ding dong the witch is dead."

Although the overall results of the election were entirely predictable, there's two interesting things in there for me.

http://vtr.aec.gov.au/HouseDivisionFirstPrefs-13745-120.htm - Alex's brother Ben made a good showing as a Green candidate (7.6%).

http://vtr.aec.gov.au/SenateStateFirstPrefs-13745-SA.htm - Look at box F (Greens - 53,000), K (ALP - 295,000), I (Libs - 284,000),& S (Xenophon - 126,000). Nick Xenophon is incredibly popular. As a one man indpendant, he has made incredible inroads. Especially when you consider the Libs and Labor have four or so candidates each.
