Campaign spin doctors for the Coalition must be nearing a complete psychotic break as they rush to patch up ever increasing holes in the Howard Government facade.
Yesterday was one of their worst days yet, with WorkChoices exposed, massive porkbarrelling uncovered, no real bounce across the opinion polls after John Howard's lacklustre campaign launch and 60% of voters in the latest Neilsen poll predicting a Labor win.
Throwing money at the electorate, negative campaign advertising, multiple dog whistles, even a few dirty tricks - none of this appears to be working. A headline in today's The Australian appears to say it all, "Little fight left in dispirited incumbents".
With only seven more agonising days to go until the election, many Liberal and Nationals candidates must be praying for the pain to end. I'm sure most of their spin doctors would be on heavy medication by now.
