It was a strange day yesterday for we ordinary voters trying to read the political tea leaves.
The Sydney Morning Herald and Peter Hartcher sounded the death knell for John Howard:
But The Courier Mail readers in Brisbane were coming out in favour of the Liberal Party come Saturday:
In The West Australian most bloggers gave Howard a bit of a thumbs down:
While AdelaideNow gave equal space to both major parties on the Howard Government's $200 million advertising splurge without really raising an eyebrow:
Over at Melbourne's The Age the Federal Government advertising splurge featured, along with the risk of Turnbull losing Wentworth and a blog on the Liberal Party civil war:
Meanwhile in Tasmania the Mercury delivered uncritical space to the Howard Government's forest policy launch, but also worried about affordable housing at state level:
And the Northern Territory News gave a brief sop to comment on the political scene by doing a straightforward piece on Howard's confidence in winning government:
The ABC's 7.30 Report exposed Malcolm Turnbull's $10 million grant to a dodgy rainmaking project and his rearguard defence against almost everything:
Finally, Crikey as usual was all over the shop, therefore an interesting read and a great study of Flint's public disintegration:
Confusing isn't it?

It's interesting to see some of the die-hard Howardeers at some of the major papers finally start to realise that it looks like there's no chance of a miracle comeback.
You can practically hear the squeaking as they abandon ship...
Great to get comment on this site from an ardent blogger such as yourself..
Really enjoy OzVotes.
