Helen Lewis still wants to call it a draw

Helen Lewis in the New Statesman is using the Saddam Hussein argument ("if I can survive the enemy's onslaught I have in effect won") in describing Labour being level in the opinion polls:  http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2015/02/memo-right-if-labour-rubbish-you-say-why-aren-t-tories-streets-ahead

It reminds me of the moment in Monty Python and the Holy Grail when King Arthur cuts the Black Knight to pieces and he pretends its just a flesh wound:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKhEw7nD9C4

The Tories have cut the arms and legs off Labour and Helen Lewis still wants to call it a draw.
