Who are the Brownites backing?
Not all the key Brownites are backing Harman by any means:
John Healey, Stephen Timms, Andrew Smith - backing Benn
Ruth Kelly - backing Blears
Tom Watson, Gavin Strang - backing Cruddas
Douglas Alexander, Nick Brown, Yvette Cooper, Alistair Darling, Nigel Griffiths, Geoff Hoon, Ed Miliband - backing Harman
Ed Balls - backing Johnson
Still to declare: Jack Straw, Ian Austin, Doug Henderson, Dawn Primarolo, Geoffrey Robinson

When did Ruth Kelly become a Brownite? Not doubting your word, I just obviously missed a memo.

Michael White (Guardian) - "Ruth Kelly, more Brownite than a Blairista"
Reuters - Kelly "could find her star back in the ascendancy under Brown."
She was Nick Brown's PPS and a Treasury minister for 3 years.
I would put her in same category as Douglas Alexander - Brownite but always kept open channels of communication to Blair and been un-sectarian.
