A political pundit getting it wrong on the Labour leadership

No, not Nick Robinson although he did make a rather embarrassing cock-up on Saturday.

The pundit I have in mind is Sky's Jon Craig who writes:
'I wondered here back in June whether David Miliband might live to regret nominating Diane Abbott and ensuring she got the required number of nominations.

Having looked at the final results, I think Diane's intervention probably didn't make any difference to the result.'

Hmm as I blogged on Saturday 'Diane Abbott's votes went to Ed 3.14% and David 1.11%' That makes a difference of 2.03%, far more than the eventual difference between Ed & David Miliband...
