Agree Adam...I also think it will be close as the younger voters are opposed to Howard. I however don't believe that preferences will go to Labor with sufficient volume to change government. The difficulty that the left have is that they have to oppose and will be the 'whingers'. I cannot see Labor getting up with the leadership they have and have nothing apparent in the wings. Howard does what he thinks is right but the use by date is fast approaching. Personally I would vote for whoever truely committed to fixing our health system. All the tea (trade) in China will count for little if we can't get medical attention when we need it.
