David Cameron has rarely come unstuck on the campaign trail so far, batting away questions with his usual smooth, predictable and dull responses.
And when he faced an audience of schoolchildren in Bolton for BBC's Newsround show, he must have been predicting an easy ride.
But he ended up being asked the toughest question of the election campaign so far, as he admitted himself.
"If you could pick one politician apart from yourself to win who would it be and why?" asked Reema, a 10-year-old girl from Salford, Greater Manchester.
The Prime Minister was stumped and - like too many times during this campaign - failed to come up with an answer.
