...Julia Gillard "We are going to make sure people have a safety net." Experience: Deputy Labor leader and shadow Industrial Relations minister since Dec. '06 One of Labor's strongest performers, Gillard would be Australia's first female Deputy P.M.

Kerik's press was good, but unlike Bratton, Kerik took care to stay in Giuliani's shadow when it mattered. By the time Kerik stepped down in 2002, Giuliani was the godfather to two of Kerik's kids. The two men then took their buddy act private: that year, Giuliani took in Kerik at Giuliani Partners, the firm the mayor set up to perform security and emergency...
