"...Mr Costello pointed out several times that the swing against him in Higgins of 1.6 per cent was much less than the national swing against the Coalition of 5.6 per cent. He implied this meant he could have led the Coalition to victory. "If our party could have kept the national swing to 1.6 per cent we would still be in government," he said..."
Costello couldn't win money in a two-up with a two-heads coin, let alone this election!
And that's one of the greatest problem with the Libs: two many of them are (some have gone, of course) legends in their own mind. If Costello is that convinced about his capabilities then he should stay and see if he could win a challenge to the pilotship of the S.S. Liberal!
