As Irish elections have turned into American style media battles I think Bertie Aherne is miles ahead of the pack. Enda Kenny is wooden, Trevor Seargeant is a drama queen, Michael Mc Dowell is scary but Pat Rabitte is a serious contender. So maybe a FF\Lab coalition would work? As it stands the FF\PD coalition is weakend by McDowell but the new FG\Lab\Greens coalition is blighted by both Kenny and Sergant.So to surmise if Pat ditched Enda and Bertie dumped Michael and Pat and Bertie got it together, well who knows. I should have prefaced all this with the words 'in my opinion'
