As I said in my previous post, it is too early to say whether Diane Abbott's late entry into the Labour Leadership contest will have a significant effect on the eventual outcome.
Whilst I was impressed with Ed Miliband's performance in yesterday's hustings, no one particular candidate stands out yet in any way that will ignite the Party.
My feeling is that the result will be decided on the basis of who Party members choose as their second preference candidate. Although David Miliband as started out as the favourite to succeed Gordon Brown, if the others pick up enough second preference votes, then the result of this election may surprise us all.
