eagle "I along with over half the population at this time choose Labor over the Liberals".
This statement is 100% incorrect. You seem to be confusing a Two Party Preferred vote with a primary vote. Rudd would need to score over 50% of the primary vote for your statement to hold water, as it stands, more than half of Australia (a majority) would vote for someone other than Rudd.
Hope this helps clear up this little misunderstanding.
Cheers.
