Where's George Osborne?

I see Tim Montgomerie's point, but the fact remains that there appear to be some doubts about Osborne. Plus come to think of it, when was the last time Osborne was on Any Questions? BBC Question Time, Channel Four News, Newsnight, etc.. For a high ranking Conservative meant to be running the economy in a few weeks (shudder), I am surprised that the Tories are so shy! Plus the fact that the most respected opposition economics spokesmen happen to be this guy and this guy cannot exactly be morale boosting to the Tories either!
