Lou: "So here's your ballot paper... you've got four choices. Now, which one are you going to vote for?"Andy: "That one!" [points to Simon Hughes's name]
L: "Simon Hughes. Now are you sure?"
A: "Yeah."
L: "But you said he was a lefty, sandal-wearing sanctimonious do-gooder who would project the Party into decades of oblivion. You said John Hemming was the man who could appeal to the public."
A: "Yeah I know."
L: "So who do you want to vote for?"
A: "That one!" [points to Hughes again]
L: "All right then." [marks X against Hughes. Wheels Andy out of the ballot box to another general election defeat]
A: "I want Mark Oaten!"

Genius. My vote for blog of the year.
It's nice to know somebody else recognises the appeal of John Hemming. Who is this Andy chap and how might one contact him so that we can get him involved with our campaign?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I want that one.
And we still want Liam Fox.
This is the sincerest piece of flattery we have ever seen.
Marks an 'X'?
An 'X'?
What sort of Lib Dem election is this? A '1' surely? ;)
