  @latikambourke So, why didn't Crean run for deputy when the position was declared vacant? It's all a bit strange. #auspol

  @latikambourke Simon Crean has the propensity to think everyone will follow his personal endeavor, why would Rudd believe this guy!

  @latikambourke maybe acting for Gillard? Force the issue out before Rudd was ready? Or am I just being too cynical?

  @latikambourke Not necessarily. Maybe the calling of swift ballot didn't allow time to sway more of Caucus. Perhaps planning on more time..?
