Of course, for this worm, it was totally useless and Rudd-slanted. At one stage, at the very start of one of Rudd's speech, he was going "umm" and "uhh" without saying any distinguishable words - and yet the worm shot up from the starting point (in the middle) to the top. Obviously the audience don't care what's being said, just who's saying it. Well, when the worm is used properly I imagine its quite interesting to see what other people think as well as yourself.

Why would anyone care what 100 'undecided' voters think? Will it affect your vote? Well, I don’t see why people would tune in for the worm. Why would anyone care what 100 ‘undecided’ voters think?

Prime (I think) in New Zealand has a similar deal. The worm was a but too Rudd-slanted, I much preferred the way the ABC had it - just the leaders, no gimmicks or Ray.

I was watching the debate on Channel 9, and there were no gaps at all. It seems the switch to Sky News' footage was seamless, except for the crude graphics they used to cover up Sky News' graphics.
