What that economic illiterate Kevin Rudd stands for above all else is Kevin Rudd.

No photo opportunity is missed, no overseas trip refused, no hard question is ever actually answered, and no opportunity is lost to be negative.

SM,

You still don't get it.

The old mantra is no longer working.

Nobody's buying it any more.

Time for a new approach.

Dear Shadow Minister,

See there is your problem. When you write of Rudd;

“No photo opportunity is missed, no overseas trip refused, no hard question is ever actually answered, and no opportunity is lost to be negative.”

three out of four are describing Tony Abbott to a tee.

In fact I would wager if you asked the average Australian did 'No photo opportunity missed' or 'No hard question answered' or 'No opportunity to be negative' best describe Abbott or Rudd I am fairly certain Tony would win all three quite handsomely.

I was doing some business today with a newspaper editor who shall remain nameless. Never voted for the Liberal Party in his life but straight out said he would if Turnbull was leader.

The Australian people who aren't wedded to a party prefer Abbott to Gillard, Rudd to Abbott, and Turnbull to Rudd. It is just that plain and simple.

Actually it could probably be better framed as 'The Australian people who aren't wedded to a party dislike Gillard more than Abbott, Abbott more than Rudd, and Rudd more than Turnbull.

The stock standard answer from your side is that Turnbull may as well be a labour politician and that is why he is supported by some many. Yet his policies are far less 'Labour' than those of Gillard or of Rudd. It comes down to who the rest of us think we can trust not to blow it and to temper the idiots within their own parties.

Newman can afford to trash the brand in Queensland because he has such a huge margin. Does the Liberal Party really want to run the risk of Abbott doing the same federally now that the margins have so dramatically closed?

As promised I will hand out how to vote cards for the Libs this election if Turnbull is leader. Time for you lot to see which way the wind has swung and get it done.

SM will be unaffected by my news he just refuses to believe other than his own sides views.
Today as a result of my past job I with others had a trial opening of a campaign center.
My old office.
Not my electorate but duty called.
It is Rob Oakshots one.
Polling, until he with drew gave him 49% with Nats getting 51%
So while it was a likely loss for him it would go down to the wire.
As we put the signs out visitors rolled in.
A few from the other side, to abuse but many from Oakshots camp, wanting to help.
Only 4 hours it was never meant to be that long but even *Believe it *
Liberals said please not Abbott!
No way around this even his own side do not want him.
Fear Turnbull!
All sides say he would be a good PM.
