"Prediction?
By Christian Dunleavy on October 27, 2006
So, I figured that I have to do some type of prediction for this evening, so here goes:
BLOODBATH.
How's that?
But seriously, from what I've read I just can't see how either outcome, Premier Scott or Premier Brown, can resolve the animosity that has plastered the newspapers all week. I also think there's the distinct possibility that there is no resolution this evening and this could run through the weekend.
What sealed it for me was Paula Cox coming out in the press and disparaging Dr. Brown. That confirms that things are very acrimonious; she's not the confrontational type.
So we'll have to wait and see.
If I was forced to predict between Dr. Brown winning the vote or Alex Scott, I'd put my money on Scott. Incumbency has its advantages and Alex Scott is much more in-tune with the branches and the party mechanics than Dr. Brown who is all about me, me, me as his opponents/colleagues have pointed out.
And let's face it, how does the thought of a Government run by Ewart Brown, Rolfe Commissiong, Julian Hall,
Calvin Smith make you feel?
I'll take (relatively) benign incompetence over malicious competence any day."
Reminded me of a convo with Calvin Smith on Limey we all had.... back when real conversations were more important than Big Conversations.
