Preparing for battle 4:37pm on 08 Aug 2008 Cap'n Mainwearing is a decent enough bloke but not a leader. Tavish has made a strategic mistake in taking the hard line with Alex and co. Whether we like it or not, Scotland is on the road to independence, although nobody (including the SNP) is too keen to define what they mean exactly by independence at this point.
Which leaves Major Mike as the only choice if the Lib Dems want to stay up with the hunt. He's the only one with the nimbleness of foot to keep their collective head above water.
But I have no doubt the Lib Dems will vote for Tavish and consign themselves to political oblivion in Scotland. And, I have to say, few tears will be shed .......................................
Let the battle begin 6:56pm on 01 Aug 2008 "Each of the three contenders - Iain Gray, Cathy Jamieson and Andy Kerr - has talent and experience."

Brian, don't try to kid us on, we know better. Ian McWhirter got it right when he said it was a contest between also rans. None of them is bright enough or has the strength of character to take on Salmond, and you know it! The Labour party has long rewarded loyalty over ability, and here is the result. A contest between folk who should have peaked at local councillor level. Oh dear.
