It took fightback for Hawke to look like he didn't have a clue after winning an election they shouldn't have in 1990. There are few in the Liberal party who believe Costello is better than Howard at present. My guess is that this wil change as the circumstances change between now and the next election. Mind you at least the public thought Keating had a vision.does anyone really think Costello has? costello , like Keating with Hawke, cannot challenge howard until he looks like a better person to win votes than Howard.

And if he can help it, neither can Costello. I think the fireworks will come if Howard does not give Costello another portfolio ("anything but Foreign Affairs" as he put it).

Howard also - to my knowledge - hasn't explained how his statements were "misinterpreted". There's definitely a fair bit of jockeying going on - Rob's right about Costello and Abbott, and Nelson is doing his accustomed hyperactive self-promotion thing.
