I wanted to post about the Te Tai Tokerau by-election, but realised that I have nothing useful to add. So instead, I'll point you to two people who do: Morgan Godfery at Maui Street on the failure of the (Pakeha) media and Labour's "turnout machine" (which does not bode well for November), and Graeme Edgeler at Public Address on how this is good for everyone (if the Maori Party returns to sanity, which they aren't).
