'Mr Salmond, the SNP leader, who has visited the campaign trail 13 times, has seized on Barack Obama's campaign slogan insisting: "Yes, we can win and, yes, we will win the Glenrothes by-election."'
I am no supporter of the Labour Party but delighted that the SNP has finally been stopped in its tracks. Alex Salmond's arrogance has blown up in his face.
What makes the nationalist government so dreadful is that it lives for the following day's newspaper headline; it does not plan for the future of Scotland.
The electorate has seen through them. For Alex Salmond and the nationalists - the only way is down. That is good for Scotland.
