I'm no fan of Nicola Sturgeon but have generally seen her as a slick and shrewd political operator (that isn't necessarily intended as a compliment). I'm surprised that she screwed up in this campaign. The whole point of her party is to fight for greater, or total, independence for Scotland. Putting that on the back burner was a grievous blunder. If I lived in Scotland I'd vote for independence every time. Being scared of frightening the horses is spot-on. She needs to get her guns a-blazing again.
