BRAD: Downer v McClelland
First we had Howard v Rudd, then today’s Costello v Swan now we have Downer v McClelland.
What’s next? Garrett v Turnbull?
Turbull v Howard? Oh that one is only for inside cabinet…
Or as Sheldon so eloquently suggested…
Get the Labor and Liberal MPs with the biggest margins and get them to debate about whatever the #### they want.
Hey maybe some bright spark can release them as a three DVD box set! I know at least me and Sheldon would buy them, well I would, Sheldon would pirate a copy. So much for respecting the economy.
But first up we still have today’s Treasurer’s debate.
The debate will be broadcast on SKY news starting at noon. There will be pre and post debate discussion with political and business experts.
Should be very interesting and dare I say it entertaining, if you can’t watch it I am sure SKY NEWS will replay it at nauseam on their digital election channel.
I’m a Swan fan, I have fallen in love with his incessant Question Time interjections, smart remarks and subsequent ejections from parliament. GO SWAN!

Another Newspoll out and the Coalition have come back, up 4 points. But admittedly the last Newspoll had Labor at an unrealistic (Well not in my personal world.) rating of 58% TTP. So the poll still goes to Labor with 54/46 TTP.
It’s apparently the best Coalition newspoll since Rudd took over the Labor party.
On the preferred Prime Minster front Howard is up 4 points to 41 and Rudd is down 2 points to 48.
I am comforted that the poll still lands in that consistent 54-56 TPP bracket for Labor. Sure Labor in the past have polled high but it is different in 2007. Never before has the Labor leader polled so high as Preferred Prime Minister, with Kevin Rudd still holding ascendancy in that area.
That is what makes 2007 a lot different. The polls are consistent, Kevin Rudd is recognised as a reliable and competent alternative leader and I am sure the polls will translate across to Election day falling in that 54-64 TTP range.
Thank god wordpress has spell check…
