Brown is Not Such a Long Shot After All
E J Dionne Jr., The Australian | March 17, 2010
David Cameron of Britain's Conservative Party seems like the favorite to win May's general election, but that assumption is no longer a given. ++ Poll numbers between Cameron and Brown are narrowing, which could lead to the "Truman effect" where the underdog ends up winning. ++ This shift is the result of Cameron's poor image management and Brown's resonating message to voters that they already know where he stands on the major issues. ++ "An outright win by Brown still seems a long shot - but then Truman was supposed to lose, too."
