In their respective skill-sets Clegg is a bit more photogenic and Huhne is a bit more of a wonk, so I'm embarrassed to say if the leadership vote were to be held today I would change my mind and because we've got it right and we need to get behind them.

Or to borrow your expression at the time, "not having the stomach" to elect Chris Huhne in the face of the media and party establishment telling us not to.
