Seeing Livingstone beaten by Boris would be the most delicious schadenfreude. I really hope he can do it, but Ken does have a fairly daunting level of support in certain areas. Boris' best chance comes if the Lib Dems field a strong candidate and takes a chunk out of Ken's share of the vote.
Give Boris a term as Mayor, let him work on his diplomatic side and he could be a shoo-in for Conservative leader and putative PM at the General Election after next.
