The voters of Glasgow East are going to the polls today.The campaign has seen an amazing transformation from being the final nail in the coffin for Gordon Brown and the continued rise in the SNP to a lacklustre event with the Labour majority in tact.
This has been no doubt in part to the choice of Labour candidate Margaret Curran who despite a shaky start( she was remember only the fifth choice for the seat) has demonstrated all the attributes of a solid Labour candidate.
The SNP's message has been lost on the working class vote of the area,and despite David Cameron's visit to the constituency and his launch of personal responsibility,the get Gordon out vote doesn't appear to have materialised.
This morning's Independent reports that the nationalists are far from conceding,however most of the commentators are predicting a Labour win.
Politics Home's panel are predicting a Labour win albeit with a reduced majority.
Niall Paterson is standing by his original prediction,a labour majority but with the Nationalists closing in,mainly due to the effect of the Glasgow holiday's.
So the Brown out brigade may have to wait until the party conference before striking
