Mr Rudd has painted himself into a corner with his latest spin, and its a doozy of a corner too.
Mr Rudd has no time for Unions even though the party he leads is funded by the Unions and his shadow cabinet has many ex Union bosses sitting in it.
Mr Rudd perceives a strong anti union stance will increase his electoral chances, and has started on the path of expelling unionists from the Party.
Mr Rudd has chosen to base his pursuit of 'Rouge Unionists' on his perception of the 'foulness' of their language and weather the conversations had been recorded.
It is not yet clear how Mr Rudd decides which Unions funds, who's official has been expelled, will still be acceptable, or not.
Mr Rudd are you intending to be consistent and act on all Unionists who have used foul language?
Mr Rudd this was a dangerous tactic, and we await the outcome.

The marketing of Mr Rudd - Reality.
.
Mr Rudd is now caught in a very difficult position, a position he and his demoted/reassigned spin man have caused.
Voters no longer are prepaired to listen to Mr Rudd.
Mr Rudd's momentum is certainly in freefall, his arrogance in treating voter with contempt by not providing substance to his rhetoric,hiding behind a dishonest premis suggesting that it's a tactic to withhold his policies, not a particulary believeable tactic as we dont know Mr Rudd, add his record of attracting contraversy and this is the result.
Mr Rudd's media strategy is not working either, he is being dominated by policy announcements by the Government.
Mr Rudd, you have been given a good run, but your failure is arrogantly ignoring the voters needs.
Mr Rudd this is your election to loose.

Saturday 16 June 2007 Australian newspaper editorial share our view that Mr Rudd can not continue along the path he is currently on, that voters were prepaired to listen to Rudd and see what he's got, and unfortunately there's not a lot to see.

It's pleasing to see that Australia is indeed waking up to the inevitible and that is , who are you Mr Rudd and what are you offering?
Mr Rudd you must provide more detail and less rhetoric' if you are to win the election.
Mr Rudd you have not been up front, the voter will need a lot of convincing that we indeed can trust you.
Remember Mr Rudd this is your election to lose.

The marketing of Mr Rudd - policy
Lets assume the Election will be in November, the countdown has begun.
Mr Rudd, is new, six months as Leader of Labor, his inexperience in government is highlighted by the Fact that he has never held a Government Minister's Position.
The voters need to believe and trust Mr Rudd, when he tell us that he, in fact, can manage the economy, and Australia.
Its a huge task, so trust is vital.
The responsibility of the opposition leader, this time it's Mr Rudd, is to put out his policies to the voter, soon, or risk not having them understood.
When is it reasonable for Mr Rudd to give the Australian Voter his economic policy details so the voter can study them and therefore make an informed decision whether Mr Rudd can indeed run the economy, or not?
I say its now time to put up.
