The Guardian (Free subscription) | 9 hours ago

With the Tory lead down to six points, Cameron must prepare for a close-run race IN POLITICS, as in war, an element of surprise is vital. It is not an advantage Gordon Brown is likely to seize.

news rage uk | 20/04/2008

Political assassination is always an interesting thing to watch. I remembered seeing it happen to Thatcher and its effects made long lasting and deep, near fatal wounds on the conservative party.
