If you've struggled to get to the betting shop counter to have a flutter on the next Lib Dem leader it's probably because there are Conservative MPs ahead of you in the queue.
Shadow Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan says she's putting a fiver on Lembit Opik to win. The odds are generous - around 50/1 the last time I looked.
She says she's even contemplating a flutter on Mr Opik's girlfriend, Cheeky Girl Gabi Irimia - she's an even more generous 500/1.
Mind you, I won't be putting my pocket money on it.
Sir Menzies Campbell breaks his silence over his departure this afternoon in a BBC interview.
He says he's proud that his party put the environment at the heart of political debate.
Indeed, Sir Ming made a personal sacrifice, putting his gas-guzzling Jaguar in a museum as a contribution to cutting carbon emissions.
Now he's gone few would begrudge him if he asked for the car back.
