I think we all know who the 'Eckster thinks it'll be. I'm wondering if he's deliberately playing the "Bad Cop" to Sturgeon's "Good Cop"?
On the surface at least, Sturgeon's charm offensive in England seems to have born some fruit (I know this is the SNP site, but I saw the original report in the Sun):
http://www.snp.org/media-centre/news...ader-across-uk
"A YouGov poll in today’s Sun makes clear that the First Minister has a net approval rating across the UK of +7, compared to David Cameron’s net rating of -5, Ed Miliband’s net rating of -39 and Nick Clegg’s net rating of -47
Amongst respondents in England alone, Nicola Sturgeon is the only party leader who has a positive approval rating – with a net rating of +5."
In any event, the Tories "Miliband in Salmond's pocket" posters are an absolute gift to the SNP and will probably increase the number of people voting for them. It damages Labour and the allows the SNP to thump the Tories for being being anti-Scottish.
I think this article from The National makes a good point:

The way a fair chunk of the English press is behaving is actually strengthening the SNP's support whilst at the same time they're actually dancing to the SNP's tune and doing their work for them.
