Regarding the organisation of the respective parties, it's worth having a look at the Coalition in the late 80s and early 90s. They were an absolute mess, and could hardly put up a decent fight. Some of the leaders they elected were laughable. A long time in opposition tends to bring out the worst in a party.

Poor judgement from KRudd. I just can't see the positives in this for him. If he loses tomorrow, then people inside the Party will blame him for creating the disunity that will surely now see Labor lose the next election. On the other hand, if he wins tomorrow, I just can't see him winning the next election. One of the biggest things Howard/Costello have going for them is their experience. Replacing an experienced Beazley with a bloke who has never sat around a Cabinet table, and who people have never heard speak on economic matters, plays right into the Coalition's hands. Still, at least his last name is not Ludd - he can't have the L plates slapped on him!

I've heard Rudd basically ran the Qld gov for several years under Goss, so its not like he has no experience

Personally, I don't think that will count for much when weighed against his opponents' experience. And, the bottom line is, Rudd is not all that well known. People make a big deal of his segment on Sunrise each week. Fact is, it's a 10 minute segment on a show that is watched by just 400 000 people. There are more than 10 million folk on the electoral roll. Moreover, history shows that only very well known people, people who have been around for a long time, get elected as PM.
Finally, it's not like with the two big issues he's prosecuted as shadow Foreign Affairs Minister (AWB and the Iraq war) that either of those have stuck to the Government. If he's that sure that Beazley would lose next year, he should have kept his powder dry and sought to take the leadership with clean hands against a jaded, unpopular Prime Minister Costello in the next term. |

Or perhaps quite a few ALP MPs got spooked by the Newspoll this week that showed the Rudd and Gillard leadership team favored 2 to 1 by voters. I'm still not convinced that Rudd has the numbers in the party room anyway - last reports I read were that it was down to around 20 undecided votes. |

Did anyone see the Glasshouse the other night when Kochie called John Howard 'Bonsai'...cause he's a little Bush? Very amusing.
