Is Red Ken On the Way Out?

Sphere: Related Content

I'm hopeful but the guy is teflon on most counts:

For the first time since becoming London's first mayor in modern times, Ken Livingstone is in trouble. He's trying to secure a third term in office and the polls show he is trailing. The election is in May.

Five points ahead is Boris Johnson, a Conservative member of Parliament, known for his quick wit on TV quiz shows and for making politically incorrect remarks, then being forced to apologize.

Also running is Brian Paddick of the Liberal Democrats. He is a gay, former high-ranking Scotland Yard official, best known for encouraging police to take a hands-off approach to cannabis users.
Five points is nothing but Kenny boy may have some issues with his abrasive style. It appears he's lost the pothead vote.

It bears watching.
