No... really?!

I read in the SMH today that the ANU has completed a study on voting trends over the ten years between 1997 and 2007...

I particularly enjoyed this little gem:

"The coalition would still have lost the election, even if Mr Costello had
replaced John Howard as Liberal leader, the study's co-author Professor
Ian McAllister said."

Ya think?

And...Didn't we all know that last November?

It does seem however that Costello may be able to save the Liberals now... With Tony Abbott
revealing that Dr No Mates is skating on thin ice (surprised? I know I am!) since even two out of three Coalition Voters prefer K-Rudd as PM!

I must say I do find that surprising, who knew that some Coalition voters could be so discriminating?

Apparently now though the super smug wet Lib from Victoria may be able to ride to the rescue... Costello seems to be the preferred choice for libs outstripping even the great white hope Malcolm Turnbull.

Personally I think Bish is tilting for it... not to lead the country but perhaps, just perhaps, she has her eyes on the WA prize and you have to admit, Premier Bishop does have a nice ring to it (and by nice I mean terrifying). On the plus side, she'd be isolated by the entire continent and there's nothing more than a chair-sniffer in her way out there.
