After a very nervous start , in my opinion Swan performed admirably.And yet again we have to watch the unedifying performance of the man who would be PM behaving more like a stand up (whilst sitting down) comedian. Pity that so many questions were left unanswered, particularly the on-going leadership of the Liberals IF and when Howard pulls the pin. And I wanna know why Hyacinth wouldn't live at the lodge.

If Howard loses there will be a spate of people bailing out as the Libs can dish it out but cant take it Costello is a private school bully and a his performances are a pale shadow of Keating,Costello is a gutless coward and everyone knows it,hes fine as a front runner but we will see if he ends up opposition leader and see how long he hangs around.

Got confused with later media commentary suggesting that he spoke wordchoices. Tut, tut. And the worm plunged into the red...

Swan is a smart guy. All this nonsense from Costello that he's not intellectually equipped to be Treasurer is complete guff. In other news, <a href="http://www.crikey.com.au/Election-2007/20071030-Costello-v-Swan-Treasurers-Debate-ends-in-scoreless-draw.html" rel="nofollow">Richard Farmer</a> also gives the debate to Swan and floats the intriguing idea that party strategists should watch the worm to hone some messages and themes for the next phase of the campaign. And for anyone who missed the debate, it's being repeated on the ABC at 12.35am. No, he performed competently, Stephen. Swan is a smart guy.

That's like saying the Eric the Eel guy who came last in the swimming at the olympics won because he didn't drown.
