The guy says he's FF lit, had very little involvement with them, only went to a couple of National Executive meetings ever (no wonder the party is broke!) etc etc. He has tried to ditance himself from that party and the culture that everyone now assoicates with them.
Then this story comes along and he gets in a panic...every party may fund raise along roughly similar lines, but the public assoicate FF mainly with this. He tries to deny it for fear of his real FF colours coming to the fore, and insted has made the whole matter worse for himself.
I agree that the line up is brutal. I've no idea who to vote for.
I can't believe FG have made such a mess of this- they worked this right and they'd be romping home. But as only FG can, they shoot themselves in the foot.
I don't want FF to come back to life this soon (or ever!).
I don't want Labour to get in. Fintan O'Toole and the Irish Times, RTE as mentioned above- the usual left wing media majority in this country have all been shouting for him regardless of perceived bias. And then to see Ivana Bacik rooting again for him last night on VB- I fear she may use his success to make a run for the job next time out herself. And the thought of that makes me want to emmigrate to Zimbabwe.
It really is a dud's race
