el Z, check out this article, mainly for the letter by James Dunn. This letter was written by him, not National, not C-T, but by the Labour candidate himself. Bit hard to claim anybody has put spin on it then.
If you read this letter from JD and still believe DC is the best man for the role then I can only conclude you and DC are actually secretly National party members :)

From James Dunn, Ilam candidate for Labour
"I lost count of the number of times I doorknocked someone who told me they had voted Labour all their life, but wouldn't vote for us as long as you were leader," he wrote. "The Labour Party isn't a vehicle for you to indulge your fantasy of being prime minister. While you might think that it's your destiny to be the visionary leader of this country, the country has a very different vision - and it doesn't involve you."
