If only the ALP factions weren't smart enough to replace him with Gillard. One intelligent thing they did all campaign.

IT'S being called Kevin's Curse. All but one of the seven seats Kevin Rudd visited in the final days of the election campaign were lost by Labor.
The former PM had no magic touch with voters, reinforcing the view of ALP insiders that it was the right call by Julia Gillard to replace him.
Mr Rudd visited the seats of Bonner, Flynn, Herbert, Brisbane and Moreton.
He also made surprise appearances in the electorate of Melbourne and the Sydney seat of Bennelong.
"It's the curse of Kevin," said one Labor insider. "He was not the campaign asset that he claimed to be."
