It's too early to call anything; because things change daily, and people change their minds right up to election day.
Watching the media is always a dead giveaway to how the community is viewing the candidates and parties, I think.
Lately, they (the media) seems to be neutral tending to the ominous about Julia Gillard. Watch how they portray her especially on television.
Lately they are panning in on the hairdos, and the way she walks and carries herself (she can't help it, no one can, but the media picks up on that stuff and delivers it via the screen.) If they don't like her, and/or if they think the public don't like her, she will not be a good look on the screen very soon, you can bet on it.
The media is picking up on a degree of cynicism in the community about this whole deal in my view.
Right now, my feeling is that labor is going to get done, but I don't think liberal is going to have a landslide, but they could, just too early to tell. At this stage, my gut feeling is that there is going to be a hung parliament in the Reps, and even stronger libs in the Senate; and I think that's a good thing.
I think the community thinks it's about trust, and there is not enough good faith there yet to justify trusting them (any of them at this stage, including labor). Sure, the feministas will vote Gillard, but I think that's going to be outweighed by the people who are angry about how the whole thing was done - it's just a question of who they will vote for and preference.
England is basically a hung parliament at the moment, I think it's going that way here too. (Heaven forbid that Australia doesn't follow England fairly regularly!)
