The only way labour can be saved is if they rally behind him and if he does something special. In my opinion, anyway.

The Tories in the run-up to '97 were divided and too busy infighting to pose any challenge to Tony Blair and New Labour... 10+ years on and Labour are where the Tories were then.
I don't think Brown can win the next election. Brown isn't going to win any popularity contests amongst Labour members, he's made far too many enemies and Labour will only rally behind him on the eve of the Tories getting back into power... (Although, when a Tory victory looks to be in the bag, I expect some Lab MPs will probably defect).
There's been rumours about David Miliband and he's probably Labour's best chance. Brown is unacceptable to 'Blairites' who are doing everything they can to destroy him - but Miliband is a 'blairite', although serving as Foreign Sec in a Brown government.
