		<description>Hey Finns, what do you reckon his chances are of making it to 21?

That also happens to be the world record number of people ever fitted into a mini. Mind you, they were Malaysian students, not Ruddistas.</description>

		<description>[Greentard, you should really be posting over at Larvatus Prodeo.

They hate Gillard too.]
I don\&#039;t \&quot;hate\&quot; Gillard.

I simply don\&#039;t think she can win the next election. To me that should be the ultimate test of who should be the party leader. Who has the best chance of winning the next election.

For various reasons, some reasonable and some completely unfair, Gillard simply is not liked in the community. She is not considered trustworthy or believable by many Australians and the feeling is strong enough that some regular Labor supporters have no problem supporting the coalition even though it is lead by a very extreme leader.

That should give you some clues about the level of dislike of Gillard in the community.

I think Gillard has been a good administrator and legislator. But she simply is dragging the Labor brand down becuase people on a personal level don\&#039;t like her.</description>

		<description>It got linked earlier, but I think anyone backing Rudd here should listen to what John Mendoza has to say. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-02-24/john-mendoza-interview/3850764

Pretty damning.</description>

		<description>[Rudd promised to not challenge Gillard again. If he does is he as bad as Gillard re “No carbon tax …” ?]
Yes I think so. Rudd won\&#039;t need to challenge Gillard because she will inevitably resign, so the next leadership spill will be Rudd V Someone else.

Of course Keating said he would only challenge Hawke once before the first ballott</description>

		<description>Abbott has ruled out any deal with the Indies if Rudd gets in. Presumably he knows there isn&#039;t a lot of love on the cross-benches for him.</description>

		<description>TOM - 29 votes makes Rudd VERY viable right now. And don&#039;t forget it&#039;ll probably be a secret ballot.  Rudd has real supporters. We&#039;ve still got to see what Julia has.</description>
