Has GB blown any hope Labour had with his gaffe today ?. They were already trailing in 3rd place with 25%.

Possibly, but I can't see the Labour voters not voting for Labour just because of this.

The vote for Labour but not really convinced ones may well do.

I think so yes - this was the fatal blow to a very sick party.

I shouldn't imagine it'll make a lot of difference.
Staunch Labour supporters will still give him their vote as will those who would sooner die than see the Tories get in

Probably, a lot of people on the street will read this headline and lose faith in Brown. What they should realise is that at least Brown has shown some humanity, the woman probably was a bigot and he has expressed that. And its nothing on what I expect Cameron said after he has just spoken with a factory worker from up north.

I don't know why everyone goes so mental about this sort of nonsense. He's a HUMAN - humans make mistakes. So what if he called someone a bigot? Most regular people say worse things on an hourly basis.

David Cameron met my sister up at Varndean, he wouldn't shake her hand. OH MY WORD it is awful.
Apart from the lady in question.

When I interviewed him the other day all his 'Thick of It' style goons were listening in as he chatted to shoppers. One said: "His small talk has got better."
Clearly let is slip since.
Although honestly I cannot believe for one single minute this will lose Brown any votes.

Maybe, but not because of this gaffe.
His love of private finance, pointless wars, assaulting civil liberties etc would have done far more to send former labour party supporters running as fast as they can rather than an irritated response to a member of the public.

I bet they all do it!! He was just abit unfortunate that he had the microphone still on!!! LOL!! 
To be honest, I think there are alot worse things going on in this world than Gordon Brown calling someone a bigot!!!!

Five years ago (or was it ten?) John Prescott managed to punch someone and still retain his seat.
In 5 days time, this will have simply blown over. There maybe a residue of bad feeling, but ultimately those who are laughing hardest now were never going to vote for him anyway.

I think a lot of people sided with Prescott at the time though, as the bloke he thumped had just thrown an egg, and was sporting a spectacularly ridiculous mullet. There was an element of "yeah good on ya Prescott".
Gordon, on the other hand, has just snidely insulted some old dear from the comfort and safety of his limo. Cowardly and (having left the mike on, duuurr) very stupid.
