It goes pear shaped for Cameron

Andrew Grice in the Independent sums the Ealing Southall result in a sentence:

The Tories, having over-hyped expectations in Southall, began to lower them, and duly lost the battle for second place in both seats.

Iain Dale, who got very excited about the possibility of a Tory win at one point admits that the Tories failed to meet expectations, while accusing the Tory election manager of clutching at straws. At the time of writing, Dale has this ad on his blog. I'm guessing that Tony Lit won't be the Tory candidate at the general election.
