The Aussies chose wisely

John Howard, a Bush backer in the War on Terror, was re-elected to Prime Minister of Australia. His opponent, Mark Latham, had campaigned on a promise to pull all the Australian troops from Iraq. Latham lost big time.

This election probably does nothing for the Bush campaign, but had Howard lost, and the Aussies started to pull their troops, it would have hurt Bush.
