Cruddas outstanding in Liverpool

Cruddas shon in last hight hustings in liberpool i was talking to people on the way out seemed to be a mixture of Cruddas and Blears.  I genuinely think Cruddas is going to win based on last night, which included a number of  Benn supporters.  I was shocked with the amount of people who were not impressed with Harman or Benn.  Seen hain later in our CLP and cam across well.

Re: Cruddas outstanding in Liverpool (#1)

This weekend will now be crucial for member votes as the forms have gone out and most will vote straight away if they're going to vote.
The bookies and Betfair have this as a straight race between Benn and Johnson, with Harman and Cruddas several points behind and Blears and Hain way back:

Hilary Benn 5/4 1.92/1
Alan Johnson 6/4 1.48/1
John Cruddas 5/1 7.2/1
Harriet Harman 7/1 8/1
Blears, Hazel 25/1 41/1
Peter Hain 33/1 33/1

First column - best bookies odds available, second column current trading prices on Betfair

Re: Cruddas outstanding in Liverpool (#2)

So on Befair (which is probably more reliable because it's current) Johnson's favourite. As Wiseman reports, Blears seems to be flying somewhat under the radar here - she's not getting any money on her, but she's consistently getting rave reviews (and, it seems, support) at all the hustings.
