Scent of an election in the air as Spring nears

The Legislature has resumed this morning (Tuesday, February 18, 2014) and there is the scent of an election in the air. It would be a good idea not to try, as some writers are doing, to guess the outcome before the writ is even issued.  Election campaigns are unpredictable. There is often a TV debate moment that changes everything. It’s sometimes not apparent until a public opinion poll reveals what’s happened.  A debate should be a knock down event with three strong personalities ready to fight. Could be good. But let’s not get ahead of events.
