Why didn't the LibDems attack Labour right from the start? Will they do it now?
Numerically, it's their best chance to destroy and replace Labour, and become the alternative government.
Tory-averse Labour-hating swingers would love it. Are Clegg's grass-roots so blinded by misty pink memories of old Lib-Lab pacts that a radical alternative does not occur?
Will they will see the bleeding obvious attraction of that strategy NOW, before it's too late and they blow their best chance for decades?
McDoom is on the floor and Clegg is standing over him with a dagger. Will Clegg administer the coup de grace? Or will he waste the chance of a lifetime and all his ammo on the Tories because his membership tell him to?
Angry huddles in Libdemmery Towers tonight over these questions, I'd bet. Well, if anyone there has any sense of destiny.
Clearly a man, he's the only one to agree to be interviewed by Paxman.
