Irish Presidency

I backed someone on Betfair, Went in, Voted for them, came back out thinking I could lay off as my vote would have shook up the market, not a thing.... I dont think these electronic systems are working...
 
I voted

1) The reformed murderer (for first prefence forecast reasons only)
2) Prof Pat Pending
3) David the demented stare Norris
4) Dana brought to you by Michelin Scallon
5) The Quango Queen
6) Gay Angry Boy Mitchell
7) Berties Bagman.

Will there be exit polls tonight? If so, how accurate are they usually?

Yes and I would say they have less than 5% margin for error. The 4/5 Gallagher first preference really is too big a price. Can I ask the forum members would you really take 10/11 on the ability of Irish public not to be stupid in a closed ballot?
 
It looks like Higgins will comfortably lead after the first count, he only needed to be level to be a winner. Gallagher vote collapsed but not enough to knock him out of second.
 
Yes. I make it now 15-17% for McGuinness, with SG higher than my post above.

I think Norris and Mitchell will be close. Both around 6%

My tally of tallies was skewed by the fact that both Donegals and a Louth had tallied, which overcooked the SF vote.

Edit: More like 15 for McGuinness

Has a television debate ever had so much impact on the final outcome of an election?

Was obviously a serious blunder by Gallagher, but I would have doubts with regards to some of the methodology of some of the polls.

As far as the media is concerned the Sunday Times and Sindo (no surprise) disgraced themselves in their coverage of this.

Dana is looking forward to 2018 now. Embarassing

If she runs I will also run, just to prove a point that I'm not as big a spa as her. I'd make myself 1/10 to beat her in a march bet.

Martin mc aleese, next president of Ireland anyone??
