    My only concern is that so many people had planned to vote for such a candidate to be the nations president in the first place :pac:

    I don't think most people - including myself - were aware of his Fianna Fail links. Prior to the campaign, he was just "yer man off the Dragon's Den".

    The candidates keep banging on about the media dragging up dirt about them, but I'm glad they did - they're actually doing a good job & have shown up Norris & Gallagher for what they are.

    If you can't stand up to scrutiny, then they shouldn't be in the job.

    Nope, started with dana, then considered Gallagher but Michael D was always up there for me.
    When I seen dana on the debates I thought she was a bit fragile tbh.

    Jesus, don't say that! People are so unimpressed with all the candidates that an ironic "let's vote Dana in for the laugh" campaign launched in the last week has every single possibility of working.

    Sean Gallagher can't answer a simple question.

    He is a bluffer and I rather see anybody, but a FF in there at minute.

    What people see in him I don't know. If people think he the best and most honest then ye believe anything.

    Michael D has this one in the bag I think.

    If the people of Ireland vote Sean Gallagher as President we may have to come to terms with the fact that Father Ted was a documentary.

    The boards poll is interesting. Is it becasue Michael D is more popular among younger people? (making the assumption that boards poll is made up of younger voters)
    Then Sean G lead the national poll (up to today anyway) would assume its the older crowd voting for him , unless im missing something :confused:

    Not necessarily. There's quite a mix of ages here on boards.

    I'm just reading through posts here and the man is still in with a good chance. I cannot understand it - what on earth do people see in him? How can anyone support him after all this?

    He's toast. I've spoke to several idiots in work today who where voting for him up until last night and now they realise he's FF through and through and would'nt give him even their number 7 vote. He's done.

    His vote on the poll here has gone up about 35% since last night. I'm not sure if that's because more people have been reading the thread since then, but I wouldn't count on it just being that in any case. I reckon some people will vote for him because they either feel sorry for him or don't like the idea of McGuinness being the one to scupper somebody else's chances.

    I wouldn't write him off at all tbh. People have shown in the past that they don't always base their decisions on what is best for the country.

    I really hope you're right. Thursday will be interesting! It could be very tight.
