The point is Tony you claim to equally offend politicians, save me searching but where\u0026#39;s you offending of the Lib Dems? It\u0026#39;s fine to have a bias, we all have them, I just think you should be clear. The Liberal candidate is calling himself the local candidate when only Wendy and Sandra are truly local, if a Labour or Conservative candidate had done that would you have ignored it?"},"link":[{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4297900316479141043/2751724084294524219/comments/default/1274160698634369692"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4297900316479141043/2751724084294524219/comments/default/1274160698634369692"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http://marknottingham.blogspot.com/2009/12/predicting-dane-valley-result.html?showComment\u003d1259876388619#c1274160698634369692","title":""}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"mnottingham"},"uri":{"$t":"http://www.blogger.com/profile/02019533493432411653"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$extendedProperty":{"xmlns$gd":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005","name":"OpenSocialUserId","value":"02812848329665579162"}}],"thr$in-reply-to":{"xmlns$thr":"http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0","href":"http://marknottingham.blogspot.com/2009/12/predicting-dane-valley-result.html","ref":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297900316479141043.post-2751724084294524219","source":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4297900316479141043/posts/default/2751724084294524219","type":"text/html"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297900316479141043.post-622220326992761325"},"published":{"$t":"2009-12-03T10:16:43.792Z"},"updated":{"$t":"2009-12-03T10:16:43.792Z"},"title":{"type":"text","$t":"You have a cheek Mark, you suggest I mention being..."},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"You have a cheek Mark, you suggest I mention being a Liberal Democrat on my blog and don\u0026#39;t ask why your candidate doesn\u0026#39;t use a Labour Party Logo on a letter sent to potential voters.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eStill don\u0026#39;t bother to explain.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eWhen I write, I represent no one except myself, as I understand you are a taxpayer funded Labour Eurocrat so since us readers are paying your salary indirectly thanks for the \u0026quot;heads up\u0026quot; on your affiliation"},"link":[{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4297900316479141043/2751724084294524219/comments/default/622220326992761325"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4297900316479141043/2751724084294524219/comments/default/622220326992761325"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http://marknottingham.blogspot.com/2009/12/predicting-dane-valley-result.html?showComment\u003d1259835403792#c622220326992761325","title":""}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"tony flaig bignews"},"uri":{"$t":"http://www.blogger.com/profile/15212662248741515725"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"}}],"thr$in-reply-to":{"xmlns$thr":"http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0","href":"http://marknottingham.blogspot.com/2009/12/predicting-dane-valley-result.html","ref":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297900316479141043.post-2751724084294524219","source":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4297900316479141043/posts/default/2751724084294524219","type":"text/html"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297900316479141043.post-3456410526878089756"},"published":{"$t":"2009-12-02T22:23:17.009Z"},"updated":{"$t":"2009-12-02T22:23:17.009Z"},"title":{"type":"text","$t":"One think that will swing the vote tomorrow and it..."},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"One think that will swing the vote tomorrow and it always does in local elections is the rain.
