you know what really gets me? the lack of choice in this election.

The hardest thing at this election will be the me-tooisms. Even yesterday's ALP announcement of Commonwealth land release and auditing was a Liberal policy from back in July.

Just discovered I had dropped off the electoral role and had to hot foot it to a fax machine to make sure I am still able to vote.

Talk about a hassle! For something that is mandatory, they sure make it easy for you to fall off the radar.

That's strange, I didn't realise it could happen. Did you move electorate Danica?

Round III:

I hear Labor is accusing John of behaving like a school boy, so which is it, is he too senile to run the country or too immature.

Get a clue and stick to it.

From Andrew Bolt;

The odds on a Liberal win have shortened at Sportingbet to $2.65. Labor is still a solid favorite at $1.55, but John Howard is striding back into town.

His first few days of the campaign have been very good - kicked off by a huge tax cut promise that didnât just highlight Howardâs good economic record, but showed how unready Labor was for any debate over tax. Howard has also sounded assured, while Rudd is becoming dangerously close to being seen as all spin and no substance.

Ruddâs ads have been good, but the Liberalsâ scare on unions will bite because it really will startle people that Ruddâs front bench is indeed 70 per cent old union officials. Howard probably is also connecting with his âgrow upââ attack on Ruddâs complaints of ânegativeâ campaigns.

Rudd may yet have in his bag the policies that will show him as indeed the man for a fresh start. At least he knows heâll have billions of Budget surplus to play with, while Howard still faces a huge âitâs long enoughââ factor.

But right now Iâd say the polls will start to follow the bookies - and make the media story Ruddâs decline and not Howardâs end.

That will put Rudd under more pressure than heâs known in his life. Letâs see what heâs made of. This contest may yet prove a lot, lot tighter than I predicted.

An interesting article today in the Herald Sun indicating that Rudd isn't coping with the pressure. They're using this as their illustration;

Can't see any pic?

OK nevermind the last comment, it was an all round problem with my PC.
