And I say this as someone who really, really *wants* Cameron to come out of this smelling of roses.

To be honest I think Gordon Brown's entire strategy this evening has been to try and drag David Cameron down. He is on a damage control exercise now, his only thoughts are to try and minimise the number of seats the Conservatives get and try his luck on a hung parliament.
It's a cynical strategy but a strong one in that Cameron can't excel as he has to constantly fend off the snipes. The only thing he should perhaps do is stop counter-attacking.
Overall a much better performance from him, Clegg has been reasonable though helped a great deal by Brown's strategy, Brown has been nervous and weak and frankly looks like he popped some interesting substances before he went on stage.
