Actually, after Keating mumbled a bit, Howard *did* state that after the
election, he would not be the leader of the opposition. Now, he was
confident (what was his usual phrase, not arrogant, not complacent?)
that he would be prime minister elect, but if he had lost, there was
no way he could credibly remain leader of the Libs. He didn't say
anything about resigning from parliament though.

I can't remember Keating's follow on comment, it certainly wasn't 
sufficiently noteworthy - maybe somewhat me-too'ish.
