...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. Attacked as too close to unions, she managed to occupy middle ground in the important industrial-relations debate. She's been unflappable in the face of personal attacks, including a Liberal M.P.'s outburst that she was "deliberately barren...
...Wayne Swan "There does need to be an urgency about dealing with inflationary pressures." Experience: Shadow Treasurer since 2004 Rudd confirmed the party's former numbers man as Treasury spokesman despite past tension between the two men. Like his leader, the former lecturer in public administration is from Queensland, a key Labor battleground. Swan plays tough and held his own against Peter Costello in their campaign debate. Rudd has confirmed Swan will be Treasurer if Labor wins...

Whether this ultimately redeems Baumbach and “Margot at the Wedding” is up for debate...
...Crime declined on Kerik's watch, though the big drop had taken place years before. After years of mutual hostility, City Hall's relations with local African-American leaders slowly began to heal. 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...
