Thinking back, I suspect the Yes people might have missed a trick in not putting up Tommy Sheridan for the debate.

I once attended the closing ceremony of a student event - this was before his court case - and the guy was genuinely inspirational. For all his faults and failings, he is a genuine orator and knows how to connect with young people.

Maybe he's seen as damaged goods but it was long ago enough for most of last night's audience not to know about.
