will the poll momentum stall for the govt?, page-5

No offence Den but you are the one needing familiarising.

The election will come down to marginals - Even if Gillard goes into the election 51/49, the seats held by Slipper, Oakeshott & Windsor are coalition bound. Throw in a few more from the backlash over the ALP corruption in NSW and suddenly you have Gillard needing to win 10+ seats just to retain government.

She is gone - The ALP know it. The rats aren't leaving the titanic because it just dodged the iceberg. Captain Gillard is steering straight for it!
