But it’s not only in cold, hard economic terms where Vince’s numbers add up to the winning total. With proper nouns now being allowed in Scrabble he manages to take top prize there too.

‘Vince Cable’ will score you a tidy 19 (without any double or triple letter or word bonuses). ‘Alistair Darling’ and ‘George Osborne’ – despite both containing more letters – will only net you a miserly 17 apiece. And if you use the full ‘Vincent’ you’ll get another couple of points on top. A bonus we can all be happy with.

If you don’t believe us, you can check our sums on the scrabble score calculator.

“Ah, yes,” mutter the smartarses, “but ‘Vincent’ is Cable’s middle name. His real first name is John.”

OK, OK. In the interests of fair play we’ll use the candidates’ proper full names. John Vincent Cable, Alistair Maclean Darling and Gideon Oliver Osborne (stop sniggering at the back…)

The scores on the doors? Cable, 35. Darling 28. Osborne, 26.

This is starting to look like an opinion poll, isn’t it?

Now you could say FourSquare remains nascent. You could argue that there wasn’t much competition for the venue. But that’s missing the point… we just did it. It took 7 minutes and 42 seconds. And here’s screenshots to prove it, and the first all important media coverage too.

With your support, in fact only with your support, we might be able to announce a different position for Dr. Cable at 11 Downing Street come 7th May 2010.

Please note that the #invincecable campaign is apolitical other than being determined to get Vince Cable as Chancellor of the Exchequer (and therefore not George Osborne or Alistair Darling). See http://invincecable.wikispaces.com/objectives for more details.
