Happy Super Tuesday!   ‘Super’ for two reasons. Firstly the 7 councils who are considering motions of support for independent candidates today.  The diary for the day is as follows (with the candidate who is schmoozing seeking a nomination beside them.

Cavan 7pm – Dana

and

Kilkenny Wednesday  8:30am –  Both seeking a nomination

Today is also Super Tuesday as the posters are going up – it’s a month to the election.

First in my timeline at 12.21am was a picture of a Michael D Higgins poster up in Dublin City.

In a first for a Maman Poulet diary I have some campaign art for your delectation. The Norrisettes (their term!) have been given a picture for their facebook profiles and other avatars. James Delaney is the artist.

Mary Davis is having a golf classic in a few weeks at the same club that saw Europe win the Solheim Cup (Great golf, great result, gratuitous opportunity for me to mention I was watching golf all weekend!) – Davis is looking for  €500 for a 4 ball.

Meanwhile Martin McGuinness’s campaign is celebrating that they have become the 2nd most popular candidate facebook page with over 3000 likes in a week.  You can find pictures like this on the page.

PS – Gay Mitchell is not getting a lot of love on his Facebook Page – only 728 likes.  However he is recreating the popular image of escalator canvassing in Blanchardstown Shopping Centre. (Pic: Maxwells)
