fwiw i thought paddick was a good candidate, intellectually and experientially.liberally minded in an macho environment

foxinsocks · 02/05/2008 23:33

oh now they think the 2nd votes may be able to be announced at the same time? so we may get the result now and go to bloody bed!

mrsruffallo · 02/05/2008 23:33

does that mean there's a thin sliver of hope?

foxinsocks · 02/05/2008 23:34

yes, I thought Paddick was OK. Why the hell the libdems did so little to promote him, I'll never know.

I think this is it (the announcement...)

mrsruffallo · 02/05/2008 23:35

I am holding my breath
LOL, Boris cannot have won?
Am I hallucinating?

seeker · 02/05/2008 23:35

I think Paddick's a brilliant candidate too - just unelectable in the current climate.
