I also hope that DC goes easy on the matador-style barbs; references to the Nasty Party are the last thing the Tories need right now.<br /><br />Still, if current trends continue, Cameron need not worry. Were he up against Blair and Ashdown, it would be a battle of titans. As it stands, it could just be the source of some very entertaining political bloopers.R.

Someone at CCO should be shot.AD627https://www.blogger.com/profile/16932512541066639278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-15403173601661500322009-12-21T23:18:03.824Z2009-12-21T23:18:03.824ZSome good put downs?<br /><br />You mean he needs some while debating with Brown and Clegg?<br /><br />Are you kidding?<br /><br />Let Brown start with his facts and figures and as long as Cameron has done his homework he should royally stuff him. Unless of course he is still in the &#39;let&#39;s be nice to everyone even our enemies&#39; mode like he has been for a year or two, like most Tory bloggers.Houdinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02299827686189026014noreply@blogger.com
