This seems a classic case of throwing your money on a horse you can clearly see is dead.
Yes Rudd is dead in the water according to the polls but
Abbott will not have an easy ride.
I reckon Rudd will stay on as opposition leader &
together with the Greens will block him in the senate.
Abbott will drink from the poisoned chalice.
This is not a win for Abbott but a nightmare.
Rudd really needs to leave, win or lose
As to Rudd and Greens blocking Libs in the Senate
--- that's typical, isn't it?
Even worse this time because Rudd is a Revenge-Machine and I think it's the role he enjoys most. Greens is comprised of individuals with chips on their shoulders. And a whiff of power is aphrodisiac to them. If they can't have their own way -- like Rudd -- they'll cut the people's noses off
Neither Rudd NOR Greens are keen on stability. It would put the onus on them to come up with at least some goods instead of behaving like low-intelligence teenagers
Rudd and Greens hide their shortcomings behind chaos
People --- don't give your vote to Greens or Rudd or we'll return to the banana republic Keating foisted on us
