Cameron Rising

Apparently, Cameron has given a speech at Blackpool that has impressedmany and even awedsome of his audience.  He had no text or cues or podium, and worked from a few notecards.  The prospect of a general election this year seems to agree with Cameron.  In any case, the swirling rumours of just a few days ago that Cameron was headed for a fall, which I assumed to be true, show just how many people in his party underestimated his campaign skills.  The Cameroons have always struck me as a ridiculous bunch, and I remain skeptical that they can win an election, but as of right now this is probably the most competitive–and least demoralised–the Tories have been in ten years.
