One more week and it’s all over bar the counting
A week from now, we’ll be getting the earliest booth figures in from the count in Election Night 2010.
I’m starting to think it’s all over bar the shouting. The Prime Minister’s increasingly relaxed and confident style is central to Labor’s recovery.
