Turnbull is the only liberal canditate capable of challenging Rudd effectively. Labor have not delivered anything and are all talk. The Coalition needs to put a strong person in charge - Turnbull is the best, unless Costello wants to comeback! Nelson is hoooopeeeless.....

I don't think Liberal would ever get elected with Turnball as leader. He represents much of the reasons Liberal got shoved last election - rich, arrogant and he seems to have a permanent smirk on his face. If Liberal are looking to identify with 'average working families' then I think Turnball is not the way forward - I'm sure interest rates don't bother him too much. Liberal can't win with Nelson as leader either. He lacks "it". The x-factor. I don't think there are many alternatives unfortunately for them.

Forget Malcolm Turnbull. He is old and boring. What they need are some young, smart blood in the party or they won't stand a chance at the next election. Out with the old and in with the young !!! (Sorry Johnnie, but you were getting a bit too old, even though I thought you were a great pm).
