The beatification of Kevin since his downfall is unbelievable.
Rudd rode a wave of popularity but wiped out while trying to finesse a perfect score.
He could have used that political capital to take a firm stand on carbon pricing and a moral stand on asylum seekers but, no, re tried to stay top of the pops by moving his position constantly.
That drove away the faithful and naturally failed to attract anyone from the right, as Abbott could always promise a weaker stand on carbon and a harder stand on immigration.
Basically, he chickened out.
His attention grabbing destabilisation (like announcing his resignation as Foreign Minister whist in the US) only confirmed that his motivations and character were less than noble.
Those polls which say he is preferred to Gillard are really people with no opinion getting stuck into Julia - compare with Turnbull's popularity v Abbott.
Let's not go down that road again
