    That is the big question this Ash Wednesday.

    For the great northern press corp nominations for the 2008 CIPR Press and Broadcast Awards are now open and entries can be made online. Click here  for more. 

    In the US Barack continues to challenge winning most of the states whilst Hillary continues to fight on scooping most of the delegates. The Republicans look likely to nominate the likable John McCain. More fun for us junkies and even more exciting campaigning techniques to analyse.  Will be checking in with Real Clear Politics for all the analysis.  It’s a great way to pass the dark months.

    Closer to home Brazil come to a sell out croker tonight. The big question is when will there be a nominee for manager. Players are getting p…… off and I am getting bored.

    O’Conall Street has been swept up in nomination fever too. We were very humbled to receive three nominations in the Irish Blog Awards. After just five month’s in cyberspace it’s great to get some acknowledgement – a big thanks to all those who took the trouble to nominate us. We are in the running for:

    Best Business Blog 

    Best Political Blog

    Best Newcomer

    Off to dodge the ashes today. Ever the catholic agnostic….

      Hi Conal, your cousin Fiona here. Just quibbling with your description of John McCain as likeable . . . the more I know, the less I like, to be honest. Am I alone in this?

      You are not alone; as someone probably a smidgen to the right of Conall, McCain flat out scares me on foreign policy (singing “bomb Iran, bomb Iran, bomb, bomb Iran” to the Beach Boys)…

      Maybe, but he’s pro stem cell research and his wife is mad, so at the very least he’s interesting….

      Congrats on your nominations. Giving the judging method this year, you may well have a chance of picking up a gong.

      Nominations fully deserved….
