I think of the unlikely winners (as in the ones that haven't been getting a lot of coverage from the UK press this year) Lisa is the most likely winner if you get what I mean.

Of all the nominees that I've heard hers and The Horrors are the only records that I like. The Horrors winning it would provide a good narrative for the press to write about (risable first record, utterly derided by the press aside from the NME and dismissed as fashionista Camden douchbags and then they go off with Chris Cunningham and Geoff Barrow and come back with an excellent follow up) and the Mercury likes a good story to go with it's winners (Antony, Elbow).
