Latham v Costello

Latham wants a tag-team debate with Costello and Howard (good line).
Costello wants to debate Labor's tax package with him.

Howard's people won't want to raise Costello's profile. Latham's people know that Costello is a far better debater than Howard and going up against him is likely suicidal. Costello would love to have a go, which will help cement in people's minds he's the next Coalition leader, as opposed to those other possibilities like Abbott and Nelson.

Still with what looks like to be a Howard victory coming, maybe Labor needs to throw a wildcard into the mix.

I fear it won't happen but I'd pay to see it.
