I think, given the events of the last year or so, it would be unwise to say anyone is unelectable. The general public does not like being ordered around and it seems me that there is very strong back - pedalling on the use of the 'strong and stable' slogan. Andrew Marr challenged her on how robotic it makes everyone sound and forced her to defend it. I strongly suspect it won't appear on campaign literature that has still to be printed.

Being miles behind in the polls isnt great, but a gradual narrowing could be an exciting story to tell and an occasional two or three point jump even more so.

Chicken counting before they have hatched is not wise. But you shouldnt assume they are dead either.
