Labour losers line up for contest

This is how the BBC describes the likely candidates for Labour leadership.

Policy wonk-turned-Blairite frontrunner - David Miliband
Smooth-talking ex-postman and possible caretaker? - Alan Johnson
Feminist comeback queen - Harriet Harman
Calm throughout the storm - but uncharismatic? - Alistair Darling
Hard-hitting Brown loyalist - Ed Balls
David's Brownite younger brother - Ed Miliband
Fresh-faced, friendly, ready? - Andy Burnham
Philosophical left-winger - John Cruddas

Hardly a group that will set the Nation's pulses racing. If that's the choice, well.... and I hope Harriet Harperson doesn't get it, or the Miliband Brothers. Isn't there anybody else?
