Today
So today the "big beast" fell at the first hurdle. I was convinced that the Party would at the very least have the decency to deliver Ken Clarke unscathed into the second round. Well looks like I was wrong.
Its all very disappointing and unfortunately it seems to show that for all the talk the Party has yet again retreated into Westminster isolation , separating themselves from the opinion polls that quite clearly put Ken Clarke along with David Cameron miles ahead of our other friends. In fact the Sky news poll I saw today put David Davis at 8% and Liam Fox at 10% in terms of who people wanted as the leader.
As strong a candidate as Liam Fox is, it does concern me that both he and Davis (both preaching policies that are generally unpopular with the national population) managed to beat a man that really could have led us to electoral victory. But maybe it is a blessing in disguise. Whilst I had no doubt that Ken Clarke could have been successful in winning the next general election, the bitter in fighting that might have resulted from it, particularly successors etc might well have caused us to nose dive again.
So really there is only one choice left in my mind and that is David Cameron. Its one huge gamble, but there just seems to be something about the man that has taken the Party and the country by storm. It really does seem hard to not be caught up in it and from what political correspondents have been saying today, quite a few Davis and Fox supporters may well switch to Cameron.
Who goes Thursday then? Well I think the good money is on Davis, who really seems to be collapsing. If this happens then the membership will be presented with a clear choice between two charismatic politicians representing both the left and the right of our Party. A decision that only the Party as a whole can and will make
Whats going on?
Dear all
I just read this on the BBC news website...
Labour Home Secretary Charles Clarke said the Conservative Party would be "absolutely foolish" if it denied Ken Clarke, the former chancellor, the chance to get through to the nationwide vote. He described him as "the biggest challenge to Labour in the centre ground of British politics".
Whats his angle here...any ideas????

Hey!!!
Hey guy's hows it going?
Here is a joke:
Donald Rumsfeld is giving President Bush his daily briefing.
He concludes by saying “Yesterday three Brazilian soldiers were killed in an accident.”
“OH NO”, the President exclaims, “That’s terrible.”
His staff sit stunned by this display of emotion, nervously watching while the President sits, head in hands.
Finally, the President looks up and asks “How many is a Brazillian??!”
See you soon

Davis or Cameron?
Hey.
I was David Davis support but I'm leaning towards David Cameron. I feel Cameron will be good for the party and the country but Davis still has a hold on me.
Ken Clarke is Dead in the Water and Liam Fox just don't have it yet. Who will go first we will find out tomorrow but i think it will be Big Ken.
Good luck to them all. Hope it a good one.
