The worrying thing is Abbott as Lib leader also has the same tendancy
to announce policy without thinking it through ... he still needs to
cure himself of that 'Rudd Syndrome' if he's to be considered a
serious alternative.

With Rudd's popularity numbers since becoming Labor leader, it's
almost impossible to imagine he could mess up so badly as to lose the
next election ... but he's certainly seems intent on making it a close
contest ;-)

To be fair, the recent drop in the polls is probably backlash by those
who support the ETS ... but in reality, they still won't vote
Coalition, so I don't think it's as bad for Labor as those numbers
make out.
