regardless of what many on here would like to think, rudd's slide in the polls is largely linked to the ETS decision - hence, the same logic can be applied to abbott's non desirability
abbott's biggest mistake is to be putting all his eggs into the mining basket - when, and they will, the miners and govt reach some deal, what will abbott have then? - he is from a low base to start with - no hope
yes fillipR, rudd insanely tried to tap into the boat people fear - and along with the ETS, it's like he has lost the script that got him govt in the first place and now relies on day to day knee jerk perceptions
