Political suicide required. Apply within

The big news from today is that Howard is going to stay on as PM indefinately. Now, I've got no great desire to see Costello in the top job (in fact I think he's a bit of a tool to be honest) but this surely can't be the smartest decision to make. Granted the federal ALP are a rabble, and even the Victorian Liberals could probably beat them in an election, but what happens when they chuck Crean and get somebody half decent as a leader (somebody other than Beazley)?

I think this decision may come back to haunt him. Especially if he ruins whatever legacy he's built up by going to an election next year and losing.
