There's much speculation about whether John Howard should cede the leadership to Peter Costello before the next election. Rudd's backers are emboldened by the polls, and are all desperate to believe that the people all adore him now because he spoke fluent Mandarin at APEC. My thoughts: Australians will really concentrate on the issues as we come into the home stretch. They'll see that Howard is still the best option. He's getting on, but he's still way more impressive than the preening, poncy Rudd. It'll be close, but I reckon the old master will pull the rabbit out of the hat one last time.
