Adrian, why not tell us what any of those popularity nbumers really mean in terms of voter motivation? I suggest very little. Any approval rating Gordon M. Campbell has ever had has never been composed of any kind of public like for the man, but an acceptance of the Coalition political package, cutting income taxes, putting business first, keeping labour under watch, etc., etc.If it's true, and I don't accept that it is, that James personal figures were anemic, that's probably because some people think Carole wanted to build three more fast ferries and put Pollard back in charge of appointments.I have to say I think the fretting over fickle female voters is plain silly. The real worry is Aboriginal reaction, which could last for generations, and could be felt first and hardest in some of the baked dozen seats. Austin, Coons and Lali had better have checked with local Aboriginal leaders BEFOREHAND, something Bill Tieleman and Sean Holman would not have told them.
