There is something wrong but not as wrong as with the Democrat's campaign, which it is likely related to their denial of the popularity of their opponents. They have totally overestimated their support and underestimated that of their opponents. They are now embarking on a huge payola for votes campaign, from reports received and mudslinging. This is also exactly why the people are not supporting them. People are tired of the finger pointing but will take their money ( but not vote for them), IMHO.

If the Democrats along with the PM and his Deputy had of come out prior to the campaign and said that they had made some serious mistakes in dealing with the Reds and this cannot happen again. That they now know they have to address their grievances in a democratic manner with their involvement in an open environment, they would likely not be standing in a whole at the moment.

The Democrat campaign planners are totally responsible for the position they are in. If you remember the polls in 2007 they had the PPP behind the Democrats. The polls now have the PTP ahead and I'll even go out on a limb and say that, if the polls are not manipulated, that PTP will win a slight majority.
