News poll has Libs only 6 points behind the ALP, no wonder Rudd did
another backflip on climate change, now supports Howard on NOT doing a
plan for 2012 if China and india are not on the table along with the
US.

Rudds plan is to follow the opinion polls and Howard and say me too on
everything. No wonder Rudd has to have over 300 comittess on
everything to come up with ideas because at present he's copying
Howard all the way. If Rudd wins he's not have Howard/Costello to
reply on for ideas.

I think the Australian people are starting to see through Rudd.
Not before time either.

It's spin that Howard would be proud of to give the margin in primary votes when 
you know it's wider in 2PP votes.

It's just his election strategy and everyone knows it. Remember Howard's "small 
target" strategy in 1996?

When was the last time the coalition won an election without being in
front on primaries?

Fact is the only day your opinion is worth anything is polling day ,
personally having watch both the abc and then the worm broadcasts
there are observable differences which the worm does not honestly
reflect . ( Swan looks even slower than normal on live tv)

A couple of the elections the ALP was 51% to 49% and 51.5% to 48.5%
and still won the election. One of them was against Beazily. Hawke in
one election was also down after the election but because he like
Howard targetted margin seats won government.

ABC news has it at 6 points.
Still if you are right and its 8 points then its still better than the
previous week when it was 16 points down when it was 58 to 42 on two
party preferred.

No wonder Rudd is saying me too again:)

You're confusing 2PP and primaries, which partly explains your faulty
answer above.

Primaries is the percentage of people who put "1" next to the party of
their choice. (That's why when you add up the major party primaries it
doesn't reach 100%).

2PP is about effective preferences, and does add up to 100%

Primaries ALP 48
Coalition 42 (-6)

2PP (54-46) - 8 (Newspoll)

I don't eat meat either, but that doesn't stop me knowing which part
of a cow rump comes from.

You're a sad case. So keen to take a swing and so little material.

Fran asked about _primary_ votes, not 2PP. You talk about primary votes when
2PP is appropriate, and 2PP when primary votes are appropriate. You must be
worried.

Not to worry. There are so many desperate people out there, even if Howard
