MOTR Gold Member Offline Australian Politics Posts: 6646	Who would Tony rather face. Feb 23^rd, 2013 at 5:59pm Based on how you voted at the last Federal election, who do you think Abbott would prefer to face at the next election. This is not about who you think will make the best PM, it's about who you think Tony would rather face.

I don't struggle doing multiple things simultaneously, Longy. Wheras you struggle to breathe and think rationally.

poor MOTR... isnt it the title holder that will be doing the facing OFF????

Abbott is only the contender..he has no choice in the matter..

GILLARD IS THE PM...she is YOUR chosen one MOTR.. you handed her the title

anyone can challenge her....to a face off.

as it is... I thing he will be quite happy "facing off" gillard or rudd or shorten or crean...

bring it on..

you dont have to get toey because you got proven wrong on the 17 year pause thing. just use your undoubted intelligence but disconnect it from the orthodoxy and get your OWN opinion.

Longy is right, the drover's dog would beat Gillard. Put Rudd in, and it's game on.

its a fairly silly poll. abbott would always want to go against the weakest opponent and frankly the only one weaker would be Thomson! that doesnt mean that the rest of them are opponents that cause the libs any fear. Rudd MIGHT pick up a couple percent or he might even take them lower but with the current margin, he is no threat.

I wouldn't vote for him, cods.

I voted for him in 2007 and he disappointed me.

I mean that more people would vote Labor if Rudd became leader again.

How have I been proven wrong, Longy. We both have an interpretation of what a 17 year statistical pause means in reality. Have a look at global temperatures around 1998, the beginning of your 17 year pause. Now look at the temperatures over the last decade. Of course the planet has got warmer. When an outlier becomes the norm there has certainly been some underlying warming.

Oops, the voted GREENS prefer to face Rudd is wrong, should be voted Greens prefer to face Gillard.

Mind you, the swing in Qld in that Galaxy poll was huge.

Qld is probably the most parochial state, though, so it's not likely to mean much.

The point is moot when Labor simply can't put him back in.

How would they explain those comments from last year, from Swan, Crean, Roxon, Burke, Smith and Gillard herself? It would just be too embarrassing.

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
