So it appears that the Liberal Democrats have found their Clinton/Reagan/Obama. All reports are that he won the debate.
However, the one advantage of a parliamentary government is that you can try something and take it back a few months later.
Quote:
Clegg's popularity surged in the wake of Thursday's debate, according to the Sun's survey, with nearly twice as many voters saying he would make the best prime minister after than before the debate.
The Liberal Democrats had been polling around 20 per cent before the TV encounter, but viewers rated 43-year-old Clegg the most honest, charismatic and relaxed leader, and near-majorities of respondents in several surveys said he'd won the contest.

So, is he just a good speaker? In the US, John Edwards was a great speaker, but it turns out did not have the character for the job. Can Clegg deliver?
