Nailed on.

My hunch is Clegg will win it, for no greater reason that the Lib Dems are the only party willing to stick it to the bankers and voters will warm to that. Cable is head and shoulders above Darling or Osborne for his economic savvy, so it will depend how well he briefs NC. Dave Cameron will use the old "Big business/The City say a hung parliament will destroy the country" scaremongery. Labour and Lib Dems will point to Osborne calling it wrong every time.

Brown should have the economics wrapped up I would've though. The last guy to win the nobel prize for economics credited Brown for saving the world FFS.
Know nowt Clegg and the slimeball shouldn't stand a chance.
As the entire world has became pop idol though Brown will lose because of his creepy smile. Clegg will win because he won't suggest anything of substance.
