funny how much bitterness is oozing and he has not even got the job yet. And this coming from those who backed Latham, Rudd and Gillard. Abbott must have something very special as his opponents are such atrocious judges.

He has an attitude that shows these losers up, runner.
Just look at the history and current hypocrisy that drives the vile from their mouths.

They're the ones that complain about everything and when something needs to be done they demand some poor beggar do it for them at the point of a gun.

I like Constance's term, Beaujolais Bolsheviks. Never heard that one before, fitting :)

Better still.
The two under informed posters above may like to read this mornings polls.
Yes Labor is gone, yes Abbott made ground.
Perhaps I fish in a long dry river, asking these two for informed comment.
But it would be nice, even uplifting, if truth and facts come from reading that poll, cutting it in slices.
Consuming its every word.
Gee here I go again, seeking that rare jewel common sense in a desert!
But let us try.
The poll says it clearly, AUSTRALIA DISLIKES THEM BOTH, often Abbott more than the knife welding Ms Gillard.
Given a choice this country would put both of them on a used refugee boat and send them to sea.

Something not quite right with these polling figures Belly?

Gillard as preferred PM goes up, ALP’s TPP goes down.
Gillard as preferred PM goes down, ALP’s TPP goes down.

Abbott as preferred PM goes down, LNP’s TPP goes up.
Abbott as preferred PM goes up, LNP’s TPP goes up.

Is there something I’m missing here?

I see the election campaign has started in usual style, with Juliar (future ex PM) stumbling from stuff up to crisis etc.

The question is whether Juliar will survive 'till Sept 14

I hope not SM but then again my wish for my party,s best chance is not shared by the Vulturous folk waiting to control the wreckage of it, post our loss.
