The media(or is that medium, I'm trying to allude to the singularity of ownership, I'm not doing a good job)is wants Abbott. Not only poor polls but speculation of a Rudd leadership challenge. The people seem to Love him but all who work for him do not. On the other hand where is the ALP media machine. Look at all the great economic figures and the apparently favourable world opinion of Australia. We are in the midst of a fear campaign that seems unstoppable.I'm starting to lose heart.Abbott will do to the nation what Newman is doing to Queensland. After the election you will find few who will admit to voting for him.Two thoughts occur to me. 1. The government will create a huge positive legislative agenda and therefore create legacy for themselves... but still lose the election. 2. Gillard could blind side everyone and call a snap early election probably after Gonski is bedded down. Abbott won't costed anything properly but no matter the government will still be turned over.Other scenarios......please
