The factor that makes the imminent SA election interesting, is that it's not a simple two party contest ... and it's not the Greens nor the Nationals making it a real 3-way contest.

Nick Xenophon - recently disqualified from his senate job - is getting a lot of support in the polls - and given that this is the first time his "SA BEST" party has been in the contest, no-one is betting on any outcome.

Mal Rowe - in the (Greenish) Garden State.
