Surely the majority of Labor supporters do not see Kevin Rudd as a Prime Minister. I have always been Labor but will vote void again against this egotestical ning nong.
Kevin Rudd for PM

When Napoleon escaped from Elba he had just 100 days to re-organise his Grande Armee and march to his Waterloo. Rudd has 79 days to meet a similar fate. Although Wellington did say at the time "it was a close run thing".

This certainly puts the cat among the pigeons for the next election.
Absolutely now doubt Kevin Rudd will be a far more competitive PM to take Labour to the polls. Has to be worth at least 3-4%. So perhaps it will be a a relatively narrow loss and most significantly the Senate staying split.
After the election? It will be fascinating to see how Kevin can hold together Labour as Opposition Leader. Unless he has made a momentous change of character he will still be a controlling micro manager. Just can't see how he will be tolerated for long.
Bring on the election !!

A Morgan SMS poll last night had the Coalition at 50.5% 2PP (post Kev as leader).
On Sportsbet, the odds have narrowed slightly to $1.16/$5.00 in favour of the Coalition.

Steve Smith just announcing at the end of question time that he is retiring. How many Labor marginal members have now stated they not contesting the next election. Add the loss of the two independants the number of seats that should go to the coalition is climbing.

A few days ago it was around $1.07/$7.00
While the Opposition will have a greater political opponent in Kevin Rudd, he carries an enormous amount of baggage including Tony Abbott as Opposition leader when his leadership was first put to the sword.
The Coalition will still win the next election and will win comfortably.

Yes people don't tend to change their stripes that quickly, if at all.
I have heard from someone who has worked closely with him that his office (as PM) was a shambles - stuff everywhere. He routinely changed appointments on the same day, causing his staff enormous difficulties in re-scheduling. And he worked his office staff into the ground, sometimes all night and into the next day. Well, that's what i heard and it was what I'd call a reliable source. Nightmare to work for or around.

No. This guy is not for changing and I don't think he has the time to fit in an anger management course.

Hate him if you like, but he is charasmatic, his performance in Parliament today left the opposition floundering and his words were loaded with clear meaning that will strike a cord with the electorate. The big egos pumped up are hard to assail.
My tip, he will call the election soon and win it. Interview on sbs24 today with Ray Morgan was revealing in this way and I feel he (Morgan) would lean to the right. People today are concerned with job losses and high mortgages, they love a big show of confidence and Rudd will provide it.

What amuses me is that he right wing press, especially News limited attacked the previous incumbent so mercilessly that they have managed to get in the guy who could really give Abbott a scare.
I don't think he will win but I also can't see the opposition getting control of both houses now.

That's not charisma. Ask any warm-blooded woman if they'd like to have him to dinner.
Bill Clinton - that's charisma. Rudd = geek.

I can't believe people see Rudd as a serious leader. Cannot people see through his rhetoric ((in writing or speech) the undue use of exaggeration or display; bombast.). He is cannon fodder and the lesson he failed to learn last time is humility, though egocentric he may always be.

Self centered
Self indulgent
Self serving
Manipulative
Who really treats the general public with contempt
That he can manipulate you and I just as he manipulates
Everything else around him.
Spoilt college boy who works behind closed doors
And will stab you in the back if it benefits his position.
Labor deserves him as a leader

While his presentation was far better and more concise than that of Julia Gillard, it's still the same old nonsense in terms of non-answers and trying to get away with bare faced lies.
In relative terms, the electorate will see this as a greater problem for Labor regardless of who is leading.
Kevin Rudd reborn won't be the messiah regardless of what some would like to dream.
