[Msia] Elections 08: T-1

Flipped thru The Sun newspaper today, election fever really burning up. Some notes:
- Every other page had a BN ad. Except for 1 DAP ad somewhere at the end of the paper. I think the editor must have made a mistake and accidently published it there.
- MCA seems to be begging for votes to continue its relevancy. Had a pic of Ong Ka Ting.
- MIC ads quite aplenty too but they are doing a lot of hard selling. No pic of Uncle Samy - is his face considered a liability? (MCA after all didn't have a prob with printing the MCA President's face)
- UMNO ads - couldn't recall seeing any. Maybe I'll buy Utusan later.
- BN ads - a lot of hard selling also they need better copywriters too. I dunnow, but I feel some of the themes they are trying to put out are inferenced from US politics ... maybe some of the people in there watch stuff like CNN politics, Meet The Press, Tucker, Hardball, The MacLaughlin Group.

And took some taxi rides recently, the best info, analysis and punditry you get from the taxi drivers ... NOT from those smug, smarty-pants wannabes on TV with weird accents.
