I mean, really, what is the mainstream media’s obsession with beating this dead horse? Do Rupert and Gina think if they say it often enough it will magically happen? Gillard’s taken it to the vote, and more than once. Why won’t they drop it already? And why was Tony so keen to call for a no confidence motion to get the election underway immediately? Why is the media so keen to beat up the image of a government in crisis, when there is clearly no story there? I have my suspicions, and I suspect it’s because the tide is turning, and Rupert and Tony know it. People are not as stupid as they would like us to believe. People are looking at the track record of the government, looking at the policy gulf, and are not so sure it’s a great idea to jump onto the half-inflated raft offered by the Opposition. In spite of what the polls, the opposition and the media say ‒ that the election result is a forgone conclusion ‒ I can’t shrug the feeling that the Opposition still feel a bit cagey about their chances. I don’t think they’ve forgotten that Newspoll in the U.S. called it a shoe in for Romney.
