We don't really know what the voters want.

The polling evidence suggests that whether you ask all voters or just Lib Dem ones 'Don't Know' beats each of the three contenders.

Of those with a preference Hughes narrowly wins the Lib Dem voters and Campbell wins amongst all voters. The most impressive vote is actually for Huhne who has gone up from 2% three weeks ago to 10% now.

Howver as all they are really going on at this stage is name recognition, and the levels of support for all three are low, there is little point in worrying about it.

The reality is that whichever of the three wins they will then have three years to build up their profile and will be immensely better nown than they are now.

(Just as happened with Paddy and Charles in fact!)
