This letter was sent to a number of newspapers on 23 October
PM Howard continuously extols the Howard-Costello partnership; a vote for Howard - a vote for the Liberals - is effectively a vote for Costello as the next PM.
Costello, who cannot show proper decorum in a public debate ... "making faces" during "the entire leaders' debate"; Costello being "reprimanded" on-air for inappropriate behaviour. [The Australian, 23 October]
Costello, who knowingly made/makes false assertions about Labor front benchers; obstinately refusing to accept objective evidence; arrogantly, rudely shouting over the interviewer; arguing that there's no big difference between 70% and 60%.
10% - that's the difference between 70% and 60%.
According to my calculations, 10% is enough of a swing to defeat the Liberals, including Howard (4% needed) and Costello (8.8% needed). [Mackerras Pendulum]
But ... what's give-or-take 10% to a Treasurer and PM-wannabe?
