Don't underrate the Roosterman: he will destroy the Coalition, the Lieberal Party and the country without a qualm so long as he achieves his ambition to become PM!
All those who reach the PM's chair are egomaniacs and probably megalomanics but the Roosterman puts them all in the shade! Do not underestimate the damage he can and will do to become PM.
The fact he is a klutz as a politician is probably the only thing that will prevent him achieving his ambition, and his monstrous ego will prevent him from learning.

Yes I dont think he can gain enough voter confidence ( the blown up ego ) to ever become PM and I think now Costello has blown his chances too. Who in the Libs looks like they may be able to fill that role though'?
I think Wayne Swan at the beginning of last year to present day is a markedly different man .. He exudes a confidence now and I think- I havent tuned into question time for so long ,maybe thats why Im suprised by it.
Where did this new Wayne come from...? [hes doing a good job and he knows it?]

It took the first couple of weeks of QT for Wayne to gain confidence. In about the second month of QT he was getting up laughing to answer Lieberal questions.
He still gets nervous in public and in front of the camera (a fact that gives Sheepy great glee, which is about the depth of his political understanding) but that too will pass. The depth of his nervousness was probably that time when he was asked the inflation figure--after Swoonny thinking deeply about recessions--and when he couldn't find it immediately his nervousnous increased and it took 1.5 or 2 minutes.
However, no one has been able to fault Swoon for his economics, unlike his innumerate, economically illiterate predecessor! Tip confidently gave out wrong answers about fiscal policy, tax scales etc all the time!

Some praise for Wayne Swan from Kerry-Anne Walsh:
Swan continues to grow tall in the job. He's not a media tart and his parliamentary performances are now punchy and well-targeted. Memo Kevin: your fellow Queenslander could teach you a thing or two about how less is more.

swan grows tall because he has no credible opposition. We'll see now with the change, but I don't see Hockey being anything to be concerned about

Swoony grows tall because he fucking knows what he is talking about!!!
Hockey NEVER prepares himself well enough, I remember the gorgeous Gillard dissecting him on Lateline, parlt debates etc.
