Kennedy?  Lose to whom?  How can an MP who won 52% of the vote in the last election now be considered vulnerable?

[Joe Republic]

I honestly can't wait to see how 36-29-23-3 in 2010 would translate to 32-31-6-17 in terms of seats now.

When would Gordon ever have been a "winnable target for Ed Miliband"?

Because the Lib Dems collapsed and Malcolm Bruce is retiring. Labour were second in the seat in 2005 and were just a bit behind the SNP in 2010.

Yes but with Salmond now running here and the SNP at 43% nationwide, why bother?

[Joe Republic]

What is the likelihood that, if the numbers add up sufficiently, Labour and SNP form a coalition?

How bad is the Lib Dem bloodbath in the Southwest going to be?  So many of these seats already have them defending pitiful majorities.
