Regional trends
Interesting data from the lists of MP supporters of those 3 DL candidates who have so far declared their hands.
Assuming that the MPs have some sway organisationally in their own CLPs in terms of mobilising members to vote, this could be significant as Labour membership is not evenly distributed - it is heavily loaded towards two regions, London and the North West:
London: 8 Blears, 6 Harman, 3 Hain
South East: 7 Harman, 4 Hain, 1 Blears
South West: 3 Harman, 2 Hain, 1 Blears
East: 5 Harman, 1 Hain
East Midlands: 3 Blears, 3 Harman, 2 Hain
West Midlands: 4 Blears, 4 Harman, 1 Hain
North West: 12 Blears, 8 Hain, 2 Harman
Yorkshire: 5 Hain, 3 Blears, 2 Harman
North: 8 Blears, 6 Hain, 4 Harman
Wales: 12 Hain, 4 Harman, 1 Blears
Scotland: 6 Blears, 4 Harman, 3 Hain
Unlike Hain and Blears, Harman is not ahead in her home region.

I'd assume at least 1 Cruddas in London.

"I'd assume at least 1 Cruddas in London"
at least 4...himself, Dobson, Gerrard and Abbott.
I think there're some other undeclared (so far) who are probably supporting him (Corbyn and Cohen, for ex)

More fascinating coverage from Luke.
The man who excitedly posted on Hutton backing Blears.

You make trainspotting look appealing.
As for your increasingly disturbing obsession with Blears...mate, you need help!

Susan, what big story?
Do you mean the completely irrelevent news of which pygmy candidate from the far left will get to run a micro-campaign against Brown?
