But the one thing that will stick with anyone who watched it was Salmond getting the full Paxo from Alastair Darling over the currency. What's plan B? And yet we still don't know.

Can't believe Yes didn't have a better answer to the the currency question or at least a better evasion tactic. I think their line of attack was designed to surprise Darling and get him to crack and/or send him off-message and off-plan leaving Salmond open to look reasonable and assert control. Backfired dramatically.
Guardian ICM poll: 56% Darling, Salmond 44%. I was sure Salmond would win that. Great performance from the underestimated Darling.
