Is Jack being suckered? (again)

The First Minister is lured into fighting on the SNP's ground. The Scotsman reports:

JACK McConnell's right hand was balled into a fist like a boxer's. His left hand was on a colleague's shoulder.
"Game on," he said quietly, a smile on his face for the first time in weeks.
The First Minister had just finished a press conference attacking the SNP's plans for its first 100 days in office.
Mr McConnell had refused a prepared speech, so pumped up was he by what he regarded as the first major blunder of the campaign by Alex Salmond, the SNP leader, that he wanted to speak his mind, without notes.
"We are angry," he declared, five times.

It's all very well being angry. But, for the sake of the Labour Party, try being angry about the SNP dictating the agenda and the battleground. Salmond is winning every round and has yet to put a foot wrong. He trails his coat at the weekend and the First Minister pounces on it.
