The election date options have narrowed to: For 33 days notice, called on: * October 15 for November 17 * October 22 for <b>November 24</b> (punters favourite) * October 29 for December 1 * November 5 for December 8. Its looking more and more like Howard is backing into a corner and just clinging onto hope that something magical will give him a bounce. The only bounce that appears likely will be Howard out of office, and maybe Bennelong too. The so called “master strategist” has forgotten that Old Man Time is gradually revealing his hand.

The tension mounts as at last the Master sets the stage for the final showdown -- gulling Rudd into a false sense of security all year he has now turned the tables with a range of knockout put-downs and far-thinking legislation all of which, senior party officials assure, are enough to wipe away any credibility Rudd has before dragging him into six weeks of action-packed electoral campaign annihilation, sealing victory in an amazing come from behind blitzkrieg. The Soviet forces will be pinned between Steiner and Weidling before Wenck drives the final lance through the Red dragon's heart and at a stroke the Gates of Moscow will be open once more!

The destruction of John Howard’s properly earned reputation as one of the greatest prime ministers the country has ever had – perhaps the greatest – is now well underway……Howard faces more than the prospect of loss of office and perhaps the loss of his seat. He faces oblivion at the hands of Stalinist historians. The prospect – the certainty – is that a process of rewriting history already begun will continue until the great achievements of a great government and a great prime minister will disappear from the record.

As if. Status Quo, folks, nothing to see here.
