My Prediction is Kevin wins.

1) Gillard will give a teary goodbye.
2) Kevin will say "there is much work to do to restore labors image with the people"
3) The Media will look back on Gillard with rose colored glasses.
4) Tony Abbott will start saying Gillard was a great PM, and Rudd is evil for disposing her.

Apparently there are about 20 MP's in his office atm urging him to stand.

the depth of hatred for Gillard is substantial, is it not? she is doomed no matter what happens.

This is why they started the petition

If Gillard hadn't called the spill - Labor needed 35 signatures to petition Caucus to sit and consider a leadership spill

I think there's more than 35 signatures when Gillard called the spill

there will still be a vote... just no candidates unless Crean gives it a shot. For all we know that was the master plane right from the beginning..

Grin

i had to say it but broke down laughing. the ALP with a master plan for ANYTHING???

just more shambles in the leadership front to knock a few more percent off Labor's polls.
