Typically enough, the always hyperbolic “centre right” blog Catallaxy was, after the last couple of Newspolls, full of people claiming that this was the end of Julia Gillard, even the Labor Party.
I think I noted there that it was ridiculous to be paying much attention to a dire poll this far from an election, based as it almost certainly was on the carbon price turnaround. And as far as polling for carbon pricing goes, it is no worse than what it was for a GST for a decade.
Now that there appears to be a strong bounce back to Ms Gillard, they seem to have all turned on Tony Abbott. Why, I say? He’s been inconsistent on climate change, and unable to do a good interview, since day 1. Talk about your fair weather friends.

You really ought to rename this blog site to "Opinion on Catallaxy Dominion".

Hey, I get discussed a lot over there, so it's only fair.
You don't get discussed anywhere near as much as you'd like to believe. Sorry.

"Now that there appears to be a strong bounce back to Ms Gillard, they seem to have all turned on Tony Abbott."
Your accuracy leaves a lot to be desired. Comments on Abbott were made before the Newspoll results emerged.
Perhaps you could try to be more of what you accuse others of not being. Honest.

Gab: all the anti-Abbott analysis was going on in the early hours of this morning; I thought it a fair assumption that the Newspoll, which usually appears around midnight or a bit later, was the prompt for this, and that it was just that no one thought it necessary to link to the story.
My assumption may be wrong, but I would have to ask everyone else there if it was or not, and I'm not about to do that. I'm a danger to children, you see.
We know.

you've mentioned catallaxy 6 times in the body of your blogposts.
not one mention of you in the body of a catallaxy blogpost.
you get mentions in the comments because our comments section is actually alive.

Oh, that last bit sounded like a bit of JC-bitchy.
