Facebook Status updates and comments

This morning I visited Facebook to see what sort of comments would be flying around about last nights elections.

Here are a few status updates and comments from the morning after the New Zealand General Election 2008.

 You will have to log in to Facebook to see most of these pages.

some comments on his page;

"Well done John. You are very deserving of the honor bestowed upon you tonight by the people of New Zealand.

Great speech as well. Not only did you reach out to those who voted for you but also to those who did not. Its important to be the PM of all NZ, not just the right, I have every faith you will do that. If there's one thing Helen did nor do during her 9 years its that she did not govern for the whole of NZ.

Savor this moment mate, you deserve it"

"Congratulations John! What a fantastic speech, too - you truly shown you can unite the country. Nine years ago I almost packed my bags to go to Australia. Now I can unpack whatever is still packed in the corner - I am staying here to build mine and my family's brighter future here :)"

"What a shame!!!! You are a great Prime Minister and you should be proud. You are the only Labour leader who is in this role for 9 years; the first woman elected to be a PM. This in itself is amazing! I mean, talk about being a leader in the world? US only JUST got an African American as a president but in NZ, we already had a woman leader. Good on you!!!!!"

Rachael Findlay-Clarke at 11:38pm November 8
"No! Take it back! Don't leave!!! This feels like a bad break up!!!! Don't do this to me Helen!"

Guy Cruickshank at 11:44pm November 8
"Fantastic job over the last nine years. John has an awful lot to live up to! xo"
