Today is the start of the Labor Party Conference, where all the dirty laundry will be cleaned up prior to the official annointment of Kevin Rudd as Alternative Prime Minister in Waiting and All Around Great White Hope, by his adoring fans the Unions and a few others who are members of the Labor Party.
He is definitely taking a Tony Blair Cult of Personality approach to politics and is currently very popular. He just has to work out a few problems like ensuring that he can't be tagged as Mark Latham II, whether to approve new uranium mines, what to do about industrial relations, water politics and preparing for the Howard dirty tricks department, who are keen to paint him as a union flunky, job destroyer, drought creator, underminer of the Australian way of life....anything to bring him down to earth.
Based on the number of Union Leaders who are giving up their high paid jobs to run for parliament, they must feel very confident of victory in the election to be held sometime before the end of the year.
