Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow this federal political campaign creeps in this petty pace from day to day... It has been a long six weeks on the trail for this two older grey haired gentlemen. To be honest, I think the Australian public probably feel as though the campaign has been running all year. Can we just vote now? Can you old men please just stop with the irritating ads that interrupt my television viewing? No more dings, buzzes, scare campaigns, budget deficit talks and please, no more fat angry men shouting "We're coming back" into a megaphone. Oh, and you kiss another baby, I'm totally calling the police on your paedophi... ahem.

Much has been made of this election... Many see Howard as too old and out of touch. Many others see Kevin as nothing more than a 'me too' man. The Howard led coalition announces its budget strategy, Kevins labor agrees and says it will follow a similar policy. Howard announces an Aboriginal intervention strategy, Kevin agrees. Howard announces limited African refugee policies, Kevin mumbles something like "me too". Howard kisses a baby in a shopping centre, Kevin turns up 30 minutes later and kisses the same baby.

I mean really, if Kevin is pretending to be Howard, what is the point in voting. Apart from the Industrial Relations reforms (which have benefited the economy, but will most probably be the downfall of the Howard Coalition) Kevin and Howard are almost identical on policy. As the lady at the pizza shop said tonight, either way, no matter how you vote, a politician gets in.

So heres the thing, perhaps we should let this election be decided not by careful analysis of policy, or voting along party lines. Forget voting for your most active local member, or voting along the lines of your favourite personality... you can even forget about voting for cheesy campaign lines like "a time for change"...

(Incidentally, if you vote to change any government purely because you are bored with the current government and its leaders and just 'feel like a change' you should probably let your pets vote for you... it will be a more informed choice. Seriously people, we are talking about a nation here, not re-arranging furniture!)

So how will you decide who to vote for in the election? I say we leave it to the comic genius of the two leaders. First of all, lets all take another good look at the video of K.Rudd eating his own earwax. Awesome. He doesn't even look remotely disgusted... I see where he is taking that, using that disturbing gross kind of humour that makes us cringe and laugh at the same time. I know for a fact that Kevin eats earwax regularly at family BBQ's as a party trick for the kids...

"Is the minister concerned that residents have been circulated with leaflets saying that... I would like to assure you that earwax is a perfectly nutritious afternoon question-time snack... Is the minister also aware that the bistro downstairs has cut earwax from its lunchtime menu?"

And now onto Howard and his comic genius. Remember that Howard comes from a slightly different era than Rudd, an era of pure kinds of entertainment, of Charlie Chaplin and the Three Stooges. His comic genius style is more firmly rooted in the 'Slapstick' routines than Rudd.

For the record, my brother in law often tumbles, slips or falls over things. Of course, like John Howard he always jumps back up saying "Haha! Got you! I meant that!". But his bleeding knees say otherwise. Classic humour.

So tomorrow, if you can't be bothered actually thinking about who to vote for, and about the continued economic security and development of our nation when you head into the booth, and because last time I checked your pets cannot actually vote for you, remember to vote along the lines of your favourite politician comedian.

Will out.
