   My say, yes it becomes a bit of an addiction. In the old days I used to log onto pollbludger first thing in the morning, heart beating in anticipation of a fix. Nowadays it all really doesn’t bother me. That might change after a couple of years of Abbott PM :p

   Yes but to be fair My Say when PB was founded and before Crickey it actually was a site about polling and news. William very strictly stopped anyone giving an opinion or acting provocatively – it was very pleasant but changed about the time Crickey bought it.

   I mentioned yesterday that it seemed from Rudd’s presser that he’d gone to school on the Abbott approach in content (or lack thereof) and style, the Credlin-Loughane game plan. The fact that he is also “campaigning” on the issue of trust seems to ripped directly from the Howard playbook.

   Rudd and Hawker are quite the little magpies.

   Rudd is gone, he has to contemplate back bencherville with his one member of staff and no Dept.

   All the while looking straight up the gunbarrel of disendorsement. There should be a poster on his wall with a bloody great gun labelled “Disendorsement” aimed right at him. It should be his desktop and screensaver. The ALP should be uncompromising.

   Personally I feel sorry for Rudd who is tremendously talented but unstable, certainly right now. His promenade through the Mall today is inexplicable, illogical and I hope he takes some time off for himself and his family after Monday. IMO he needs help.

    My say
    Traditionally the ballot was a ‘show and tell’. Within a faction each member showed the person behind them their vote. As the factions are now completely splintered it is unlikely that this type of vote still occurs

    William – If you have seen the posts above – do you regard *Shows On* posting as *Greentard* as sock puppet ?

    Not exactly. Sock puppetry is the adoption of multiple identities to give an impression of wider support for your position than actually exists. ShowsOn is doing something different – evading a banning. I’m not of a mind to slam the door on the new identity because I’d decided to lift the ban anyway, and he’s been keeping the flaming within acceptable limits.

    Victoria and Forever Janice – just to let you know I have changed the title substantially and the content a bit of my pome about which you made comments.  I had taken the liberty of copying them to the original pome.  I trust the new format is all right for you.   If not, let me know and I will delete!   I’m pretty sure my prediction is the right one.

    Found everyone’s comments here and at The Political Sword and Cafe Whispers today very encouraging, even since Albo’s decision.   Go Julia!

    Wow 36 degrees – sounds like a scorcher for Tassie.

    By all means, feel free to comment over at the Derp.

    Same goes for everyone on AFV, all of your comments, constructive criticism, additions are welcome.

    The Derp has a slightly different set up than AFV for posting comments. You just create a user name (in your case My Say), add your email address*, and a website if you like. The website can be you Twitter profile, or any other site you like. It’s not cumpulsory though.

    The email address and user name are cumpulsory, and of course your email address will not be visible to any one who visits the site. It’s just for admin pruposes in case I need to contact you for technical reasons. And of course you email address will never be disclosed to any one else for any reason without your permisssion.

    Effect on Qld   Anna was relying on an active Kevin to help her campaign. That is now trashed. I frankly can barely be bothered getting out to letterbox and call now.

    ALP stall numbers were thinner today. more Greens out than ALP on my drive through. Could not even find the stall I was supposed to sit at.   I suspect that Wayne Swan would not be an electoral asset just now. So Anna is on her own. Gillard will not be welcome in Qld.   Phones were running 7/1 for Kevin   Great labor mates she has.

    The ALP in Qld aere Stuffed while they have that Astro Turfinig Faceless Man named Bruce Hawker running the campaign.

    Patriciawa says:

    February 25, 2012 at 11:01 pm

    Thanks for that gweneth!     Just to repeat  – if you need reminding, John Brumby thinks Julia Gillard has what it takes!

    Running the country is a hard and selfless exercise, which requires important personal qualities: determination, decisiveness, self-belief, loyalty, decency and a sense of purpose. It requires strong leadership – and with it an ability and willingness to work with cabinet, with caucus, with the Parliament and with the broader community to achieve lasting change.

    Julia Gillard has these qualities in spades. She is a team player whose single motivation is a better and stronger Australia. Her record of achievement is testament to this.

    Australia is best served by Julia Gillard remaining as Prime Minister, continuing to lead her government and the nation.

    ad astra at The Political Sword has laid out a Gillard v Rudd scorecard. The conclusion:

    As a strong supporter of Kevin Rudd from the outset, I for one found it difficult to accept the emerging stories of his dysfunctional behaviour, especially after he started so well. I did not want to believe them. But believe them I now must. Was he like that all along? I suspect so; it just took us two years to find that out.

    From what I hope you will see as an objective analysis, it is my unavoidable conclusion that Julia Gillard is the only one properly equipped to govern this nation. Kevin Rudd is not. I hope caucus agrees.

    So much for Queensland MP’s being behind Rudd:

    QUEENSLAND Senator Jan McLucas is still smarting from the way Kevin Rudd  sacked her as parliamentary secretary for Health and Ageing in mid-2009.

    The then-prime minister didn’t have the courtesy, she says, to deliver the  bad news himself to his fellow Queenslander. Instead he had his chief of staff  Alistair Jordan call Ms McLucas. Senator McLucas won’t be voting for Mr Rudd in  the leadership ballot tomorrow.

    There is a vast disconnect between Mr Rudd’s public persona as Queensland’s  favourite son and the opprobrium with which most of his caucus colleagues from  his home state regard him. Although Labor insiders privately concede they would  have a far better chance of boosting the party’s vote in Queensland under Mr  Rudd than Julia Gillard, few can bear the thought of working for him again.

    ”Kevin has treated them all like shit unnecessarily too many times,” one  Queensland Labor powerbroker said. Of the 13 Labor caucus members from  Queensland, at most two intend to support Mr Rudd tomorrow. Senator Claire Moore  is rusted on to Mr Rudd and Senator Mark Furner is counted in the Rudd camp,  although there have been suggestions he could shift to Ms Gillard

    Of the 23 known unknowns I think you need to add Doogie and Faulkner to the Ruddista. Someone said Doogie would abstain but there is no evidence in the media for this and he was one of her earliest supporters. With Doogie and Albo so goes Faulkner. The Soft Left has gone to the Ruddistas; I don’t know why.
