oh look, he's human after all

Well here we are again, another 4 years of Labor government in NSW. I happen to catch a little of Peter Debnam's concession speech. Although there was no audio, the fact that his stage was darkly lit with a tint of blue and also the fact that he never smiled gave the impression that he lost the State Election. However when I got home and re-watched the speech online, I noticed a little something. Peter Debnam may actually be human. That's right boys and girls! An actual human being. Throughout the whole campaign, it has been well known that he was unpopular, not unlike some of his policies. The way he portray himself borders on robotic, which probably explains why the voters haven't really warmed up or accepted him.

But while he was giving his concession speech, one of the lines he said was "the people of New South Wales has given Labor one last chance to fix the problems in this state." The first time he said that, it looked like he started saying "more" instead of "last", which I found quite interesting. By saying "last", he made it sound like the Coalition will win in 2011. By saying "more", it would seem like Labor would have the possibility of winning next time around...again. I think his little stumble actually make him seem human. It almost gives him a "one of the people" kind of quality, a good quality. But if he was to accidentally say "more", it probably wouldn't make him a good politician, at least, not to the political analysts. Then again, who said good people make good politicians?
