Is this to find the oldest swinger on Tips? Tina

Welcome to the Official Tips Board Mascot Election Swingometer site for the September 2006 poll. Updates on this thread can include result predictions, election news updates, election gossip, post election analysis and hopefully some interviews with the candidates BUT please note that election manifestos and promises are not for this site but can be seen on the official voting thread monitored by the Returning Officer, Snowdrops in Bloom. This site is restricted to reportage, scurrilous gossip and innuendo. Any votes accidentally cast on this thread will not be counted. Latest News At this early stage there have already been some interesting election outbursts on both the Tips and General Boards but there is still everything to play for. Make sure you cast your vote as everyone can make a difference. Early reports show that although Returning Officer Snowdrops in Bloom has promised a fair vote, rumours of foul play have been circulating and in an unusual twist 2 candidates have been merged into one as a result of cheating to form the Maid/Gwynne alliance. Further pause for thought is that given the sparks already flying between Maid Marion and Paul Barton, Special Agent what happens if they poll equal numbers of votes? Is a Maid and Agent pact possible – perhaps it’s already being discussed? Could this love-hate relationship could provide the ultimate in Tips Board spice or will it tear us apart – only time and your votes will tell. The first Exit Poll will be published shortly after 11pm.

Frantic last minute appeals are being made to marginal and floating voters but will it make any difference. Also what news of possible late entrant to the election? Stay tuned to this thread for updates.

An early lead to PB, Special Agent but only by a thread!!!

Owing to server failure, the swingometer will not be available until the candidates have been severely rebooted. J

Worry not the server is repaired and the candiates can be booted at any time!

If only John had stood for election, he'd have walked it!!!!!!!

Despite some early votes the trend is now away from PB, Special Agent and the Maid/Nell alliance is looking good but Glen is also polling strongly. All to play for in the fiercely fought battle.

Just popped in to say..... 'Hello Mum!'

Hi Paul, Feeling nervous or confident?

Strong late polling for Glen keeps things lively but what about those secret PMs - will they make a difference?

Where's Glen in all of this is what I want to ask? .

Cautiously optimistic. Oh, ballots..... I'm cacking it really!

Oh Paul! Didn't your agent tell you about wearing two pairs of pants on election night???

Help!!! I've lost count ... any news from the polling station ...

I was wearing my lucky tinsel knickers.... big mistake!

Short answer? NO!

I was actually hoping for some other candiates to pop in but never mind as in the absence of real comment we can make things up. The Maid/Nell alliance has been on a whilrwind tour of the constituencies in a desperate last attempt to get votes in and Glen has been ominously silent relying on solid grass roots support. Meanwhile PB has been rallying his support on this board. Whose will prove to be the successful strategy? Your guess is as good as mine. Please let me know your voting experiences while we wait for the count.
