I've caved into public pressure. After many phone calls today from the ABC, the Victorian Liberal Party, AC Nielsen and others known for their political savvy, I'm going to run a hard hitting, no holds barred commentary on the election tonight (gven the completely lacklustre efforts of the real politico in our house).

So far, all is good. Aurora is in bed, Steph is on the couch with the cat, I'm about to start with the beers.

Early calls in our house; ALP by 21 seats (Steph), Bennelong will stay with the PM (Andy), Wiggles are leading from Elmo (Aurora), the Swing is something in the backyard (Aurora again).

Stay tuned for further updates.
