The power of negative thinking might be way forward for Fine Gael

SOMEONE injected Enda Kenny with truth serum over the holidays. He’s being so honest it would worry you.

First of all, he says he's not champing at the bit to replace President McAleese with someone from Fine Gael. If she ain't broke and she's showing no sign of breakages don't fix her. Let her at it, while he gets the troops to concentrate on the European and local elections.

So far, so good. As a politician, the normal next step would be for him to predict how well FG's going to do in those elections.
