From my personal perspective, John Howard came out at second best in tonight's televised Election 2007 Leaders Debate.
He failed because right from the start he bullied his way into overtime in defiance of set rules of the debate.
He failed because he spoke more in generalities than specifics.
He failed because he offered very little in the way of new policy, rather relying on his assessment of years past.
He failed because he allowed his suppressed anger to show throughout.
He failed because he refused to directly answer a number of questions.
He failed because he continued to under-estimate Kevin Rudd.
He failed because he repeatedly and erroneously stated that 70% of the ministry of a Labor government would be former trade union officials.
He failed because he is a Prime Minister who has been too long in office.
