BB - with due respect, that's a silly comment.

I could ask you how anyone could vote for Rudd who is patently a man standing for nothing other than power. He is not a true Labor man, he's just an opportunist. He's full of pretence, he's vain and he's a popularist, incapable of taking a firm stand on anything that would stretch the thought process of the voters. He actually promotes himself as a conservative because he thinks that's safe, yet he's voted against every single hard issue that the Libs presented. He appeals to the lowest common denominator.

I could say that it's sad that he's likely to win on the "It's Time" factor, primarily through young voters.

But I wouldm't be so bold as to say any of that.
