I think Rudd would be up there if Australia had a Semi-Presidential system, with Gillard as a PM. All of Rudd's flaws (disliking dealing with members of his own party, trouble negotiating with things, his micromanagement, his obsession with public popularity) would have been less important; and the position would have complemented his own skills.

That would mean whenever he got completely insane, Gillard could quietly get on with it; while he would bask contented with high poll ratings, and dream of replacing Ban-Ki-Moon or Pope Benedict or whoever else Rudd thinks he's better than.
