If he calls an election, Cameron will be able to say Brown's responding to his call. If he doesn't, he'll accuse him of running scared.
But how ready are the Tories for a general election?
Privately, some of the delegates, sorry representatives, I spoke to at a reception this evening are hugely unenthusiastic about the prospect of an early election.
(A reception, incidentally, where David Cameron was expected but unable to attend - I'm contemplating dusting off the "Leader snubs Welsh Tories" headline).
Opinion polls during the last fortnight have offered David Cameron little cause for hope.
The Tories have so far selected "14 or 15" candidates for the 40 parliamentary seats in Wales.
They may have chosen candidates in target seats but in Blackpool this does not look like a party on election alert.
