It seems a bit of an odd weekend when The Australian is getting pessimistic about John Howard, but on the Fairfax side it has a column criticising Labor's lack of policy decisiveness in The Age, and an SMH exclusive indicating that Rudd may be a bit too much into self-mythologising.
On the News Limited side, George Megalogenis warns that "Howard is in serious trouble", and draws comparisons to the 1969 election swing to Labor despite full employment at the time. (There's one big difference that comes to mind: conscription for an unpopular war.)
The Age column makes the point that Labor is still fuzzy on specifics in quite a few policy areas which it has had a long time to consider.
The SMH story on Rudd the Younger is here.
Merely fuzzy?

I do hope they let us know if any policies or a vision for the country comes into view ... at all.
