Thought for the day

It is four days now since Nick Clegg decisively won the first Leaders' Debate. Predictably, the knives were sharpened very quickly, but they have'nt really been used yet, bar a few hecklers for Nick Clegg today which he dealt with pretty well, and a bumbling Boris Johnston who was so inarticulate that I can even remember what he said. It is only another three days now to the next debate, during which time the three leaders will be focusing on Thursday, not on their opponents.

If they were going to have a good go at Nick Clegg, they have surely missed their chance now for this week, putting all their eggs in to one basket for Thursday evening. A high risk strategy indeed. In truth, the Lib Dem leadership have done their homework and have not allowed Labour or the Tories a clear line of attack, and, all the while, the thought that this all might be a good thing has seeeped in to the public consciousness, with nothing obvious yet to make them change their minds.

We can get the beers in for Thursday then with some confidence.

Can we win a hat-trick of debates on Thursday......YES WE CAN.....!!
