Not his best performance ( what an understatement )

Please dont run the " I hate Kerry O'brien card " , I think Kerry felt sorry for J.H , there was just nothing left .

I think J.H , Now himself can appreciate that it all over , I think in the beginning he felt he could sneak home with a reduced majority plan his retirement and get out . Unfortunately , as with so many others he now leaves as a looser . Its difficult to go out a winner , like a title fighter you are close but Dont like to admit it over ..Ego 's kick in , Its now well known in Liberal polling that they cannot win , sitting members are now focusing on saving their owm skin , they are not hoping beyond hope its not a total crush .

Im worried it will be a blowout , so when you cast that vote ..take a very close look , consider the seat margain ..and please keep it close . You might want to take a good look at the Liberal candidate ..but agreed , ( with the front bench ) Howard must go .
