When a right-wing British tabloid has to invoke an American left-liberal politician to get people voting for their candidate of choice, you know this is definitely an election that hasn't quite gone to plan for them.

 

The Sun, faced with an unexpected boost of interest and support for Nick Clegg's Liberal Democrats and their encapsulation of political change, has pulled out all the stops for today's frontpage.
