no one questions his determination to get what he wants - it's the direction that he is taking us in order to achieve it, is what is questionable
he is in it for the grandiosement - that 5th term for the record books
why else would the libs have cut a deal for him to retire during the next term, if re-elected - they wanted him out, but were too gutless to push him - hence the softener
speaking of gutless - don't know who would want a pathetic costello to have the leadership after backing down so many times - even after a secret deal (with witness) had been struck with howard - must have been one of johnny' 'non-core' promises
