Superior?

Rudd's ad is superior? Rudd's ad makes me think wow, how has this man got so far in politics without throwing a tantrum and going home? If he thinks the government attacking his credentials as an economic manager is a scare campaign then he has obviously had it pretty easy so far. To quote some observations from Andrew Bolt's article of October 17 (Can Kevin Rudd ever stop his whingeing?)  
"...Rudd went on to devote precisely 458 words, or 31 per cent of his speech, to a negative fear campaign, attacking Prime Minister John Howard as "old", "stale", out of ideas and "negative". 
...By the time he'd fielded questions as well, he'd used an astonishing 1820 words, or more than half his comments, berating Howard. 
...Howard, by contrast, devoted just 125 words - or 20 per cent of his own election announcement -- to criticising Rudd. " 
Kevin Rudd's advertising thus far tell us that he seemingly cannot take criticism, that he is behaving as a hypocrite, and that he thinks the government's election strategy is more relevant to his superiority as a leader, than either their policy or his. Rudd needs to tell us how he intends to afford to be a scial reformist while remaining an "economic conservative", He needs to tell us what an "education revolution" means, and how he will pay for it, he needs to tell us what he intends to do with the tax system, and why local hospital boards, under which in my region at least health care was in it's prime, are inferior to sending the controls ven further away than they are now. How can we make a valid choice for the leader of our nation when we only know what he is going to call his policies, not what they actually are?
