Why is Abbott so scared of Rudd?

His overall dimeaner this past week has been interesting. He certainly looks anxious.


 


So why not take Rudd on in a debate as Rudd suggests? It might be a good opportunity for Abbott to promote his policies.

Hi Martini:-D


 


My suggestion: He can't answer questions off the cuff without making a fool of himself?


 


Where is NW? We could do with an update on the betting odds for the election.

Well given that there has been so much in the media about his lack of public appearances, you would think he would come out just to prove his critics wrong.


 


I just want to hear what the heck his policies are before the election.

I don't think any politician on any debate answers any questions unless the questions are screened first and they already have the answers ready.

he should be. Rudd 2.0 actually has a good chance of winning.

I am sure when the time is right they will put forward their policies, it is only because the labor party is trying to geode them that we think they are stalling.


I would not be pushed either, I would wait until the appropriate time when all the policies have been completed.

I don't agree, the honeymoon period will be over within a month or so and we will be back to the old Kevin07 which most of his own party wanted gone.

I think it is wishful thinking, Abbott had KRudds measure back in 07, I don't think it would have changed much but time will tell.

Like some one said somewhere


 


Labor is a deserted derelict house, a coat of paint will not sure up the foundations or stop the roof caving in. in the abrasive environment of politics the thin veneer of the paint soon dissipates
