Blair facing his most formidable enemy -- himself

"They've got to make up their minds whether that is enough for them to reject the whole government," Blair says.

The electoral maestro who once invited people to vote Labour because of him now has to ask at least some of the people to vote Labour in spite of him.

Though he is attempting to talk up the threat of a sneak Tory victory in order to galvanize votes for Labour, he does not look like a man expecting to be looking for a new job on 6 May. He does sound like a man unsure about just how securely he will be returned to Number 10.
