Howard won that debate. Don't care about what the media says, as it caters for the stupid and economically ignorant.
Case and point, there wasnt a time when any of the journalists interrupted Howard and said "you didn't answer the question", whereas Rudd was stopped in the middle of his pointless drivel about climate change ... "we have a plan" .... yes mr Rudd, but what are your targets .... "umm, we have a plan"

Did anyone see the whole channel 9 "worm" fiasco ? What was the point of a stupid, extremely biased, piece of shit like that ?
Yes the media, and all supposed "experts" (cant remember their names, but they were on lateline last night) all thought that Rudd was a clear winner. I dont think he was though. Howard obviously went in to the debate extremely well prepared with a very clear agenda, and he got every point he wanted accross. He had to be interrupted so many times just be told he had gone over time.
And yes, I agree Rudd had nothing new to say. How many times do you want to tell us about your "plans for the future ?

Rudd extends polling lead
According to the latest Newspoll survey, conducted exclusively for The Australian last weekend, Labor's primary vote support rose from 48 per cent to 51 per cent, while the Coalition's was virtually unchanged on 38 per cent.
The primary vote lead, which would demolish the Coalition Government if delivered as a uniform national swing at the election, gives an estimated two-party preferred vote for Labor of 58 per cent to the Coalition's 42 per cent.
Labor needs a uniform swing of about 4 per cent and has to win 16seats for victory on November 24. At the last election in 2004, Labor's primary vote was 37.6per cent and its two-party preferred support was 47.2 per cent to the Coalition's 52.8 per cent.
