Despite the fact that he is a few seats short of a majority himself, and maybe Julia Gilliard may win and form a more ineffective government because they have lost there majority, Tony Abbott is the MAN, he has evolved as a cunning politician that could match labor, especially through this election campaign he was very disiplined which ran contary to the speak from the mind, foot in the mouth minister he was known to be.

And with labor's election war chest that spent money on ads presenting a very extremely  dishonest and negative campaign about his character, half of the electorate saw through that and trusted in the message of Tony Abbott, that great visions and plans dont require waste of taxpayers money of such magnituded (43 billion dollar NBN, BER) and hiding accountability,.

Let us ever remember the laborite journalists and even many laborites from the yahoo boards to here, lambasted and laughed at Tony Abbotts chances, they thought he was just another push over or snack for Kevin Rudd, just like Dr Brendon  Nelsen or Malcolm Turnball,

BUT BOY WHERE THEY WRONG. THESE LABORITES CLEARLY UNDERESTIMATED TONY ABBOTT

Tony Abbott saved Australia when he voted against an ETS that could have made untold damage to our industries and rise the Cost of living even further. and also damaged Kevin Rudd at the same time,  

Tony Abbott was so effective in highlighting the tragedy and incompetency of the pink batts,

But in the through the campaign he rose in stature, especially in the 60 minutes debate and the town hall style forums where he was far more clear and engaging than Julia Gilliard.

And now Tony Abbott is still in a position to defeat an incumbent government in its first term, a feat not scene since 1931, and that was a Labor government that lost.

Well done, Tony Abbott, you have achieved alot than was expected 8 months ago when Kevin Rudd was sitting pretty in the 70s in the opinion polls. and labor thought that the upcoming election was in the bag,
