Over the last few months there was a very close WA runoff after the previous runoff was tied between Geoff Gallop and Carmen Lawrence. In the end Gallop has defeated Lawrence 75-71 and advances to the winners' rounds.
Voting is now open in the sidebar - for two months - on the deferred Victorian runoff between Steve Bracks and Daniel Andrews (the only incumbent Premier still in the contest). Voting for this runoff was deferred to try to get a little clear air from the Victorian state election. As Andrews now has a victory on a similar scale to Bracks' wins under his belt, it will be interesting to see how this goes.
Voting is also continuing in the consolation prize for the best non-Labor Premier that I have offered in view of the left-wing skew of this site's readerbase. In the second round of this runoff held during December, the following were the results:
Total Votes: 134
Hodgman (who was the only current Premier still in that one) is eliminated, leaving four. Voting will run for one month and then there will be another round in March if required. The winner will be wild-carded into the final alongside all that Labor mob, to give the righties somebody to vote for.
Update Feb 28: Greiner has won the next round too, but didn't quite make 50%.
Joh is eliminated leaving Greiner, Carnell and Kennett.
