Want the Tories to win? Check the polls in the Tory supporting papers - Sun; Mail - wow - a ten point lead!
Prefer Labour? Check the lefty leaning papers like the Guardian - Tory lead down to 4%.

Honestly, do they really think we are fools?

William Hague had 78% in several ITV teletext polls but was well defeated in the election. Polls generally mean very little.

The whole thing is profoundly dispiriting. Take Gordon Brown: here's a man who used to make a point of wearing a red tie every single day, like some comically insecure 5th former trying to convince the grown-ups he was really, really, left-wing, now (as a Scot) cheering on the England football team and comparing the economy to Wayne Rooney's twisted ankle. He's someone who appears to have the emotional age of a 15 year old, with a deeply patronising view of the British public. Then there's Lord Spoonface and Nick 'I'm a personal friend of Vince Cable, honest!' Clegg - two painfully shallow wannabes who probably last thought imaginatively about politics when they were in their teens. I fear we all live inside the head of Hazel Blears these days. It's that surreal, and stupid.

Now watching the Cabinet members rush out of Number 10 en masse as if Mandelson had just farted inside, and then Gordy blunder his way through his 'announcement' - it brings to mind the Woody Allen line in Annie Hall when someone is showing-off a canned audience reaction machine: 'Do you have booing on that?'

I saw 1 min of the coverage which was a helicopter hovering over Downing Street. I realised the BBC had already been covering in for an hour and he hadn't even emerged from his office yet. Waffle. Waffle. The funniest thing this morning was when John Humphries on Radio4 asked Neil Kinnock what advice he would give to Gordon Brown about how to win his first election as PM.

Come back Lord Buckethead. Your country needs you!

It's surely a mistake, too, to bring Charlie Whelan back. Every time I see him I feel like I've gone back in time.

get used to it now..Prime Minister Cameron.

he has the winning aura. Brown has a giant sign saying 'LOSER' above his head.

But they ALL agree that the Tories will win, JK !
A four-point win is still a win !

Not a single poll has had New Lie-Bour in front for over 2 and a half years now.

Could this be the same Cabinet that have THREE TIMES ttried to oust him?

Later Charles Clarke was interviewed claiming that Brown was the best man for the job (despite the fact that he - Clarke - has never missed an opportunity to "put the knife in" !)

Semiotic Insanity, Day 2:

For successive public appearances this morning, Nick Clegg changed his yellow tie for a red tie with tiny yellow spots and then changed back to a yellow tie.

...then for PMQ the buffoon had the red tie with yellow spots back on! Is this a try-out of a new Lib-Lab Pact tie?

On the positive side: I think the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg looks set to have a 'good' campaign. She's been quietly but steadily improving through the past couple of years, and is a nice antidote to Sky's glossy quip chicks and the increasingly lazy-minded Adam Boulton.
