At least for Coalition supporters. One senses the blood is in the water and the sharks are circling.

I've stated here before, and will say again. Gillard is not for turning; not for backing down. She'll NEVER stand down. She will not allow herself to be toppled by Rudd. That would be the ultimate humiliation. She'd prefer to take the ship down than hand over the captain's cap to someone else.

My prediction:- if it looks as though the game's up this week, she'll call an election to lock the party in behind her and she can campaign as PM. If she's rolled anyway, she will spit the dummy and resign from parliament forcing a by-election. It's her nature.
