BTW, this vote is at 12:15 PM Eastern Time if I've done my math right. Any British Freepers want to offer a guess on who'll be voted off the island today?

Ken Clarke, hopefully. I'd like Liam Fox to win, but that seems unlikely.

It looks like it will be Ken Clarke, but it isn't certain.

I wouldn't be surprised if some David Davis supporters vote tactically in this first round to try and remove Liam Fox, the other candidate from the same wing of the party as him, so that he would be virtually assured of reaching the full membership ballot.

David Cameron! Though most of them seem to be fiscal/social conservatives, so will do at a pinch. But I don't want that Europhile Clarke.

Ken Clarke hopefully, for his anti Iraq war views and his never ending love of the EU.

I want David Cameron to win. I don’t think any of the others save Ken Clarke has a chance of winning the election, and Ken Clarke isn’t going to be leader. His time has gone and he stuck with his love for the euro for too long.

All the bookmakers favour Clarke to go first. I’ll defer to their better judgement as these sorts of votes are always pretty Machiavellian.
