In terms of Cameron, the main contention (and the main stick he's currently being beaten with by the opposition) is that he made a serious error of judgement in appointing someone who was either complicit in or ignorant of serious malpractice at the paper he was editing (neither of which looks good), that he was advised that hiring Coulson was a bad idea and yet went ahead with it. The implication that will be made is that if all his judgement calls are that bad, is he the right man to run the country? Now, it might seem like his opponents are going overboard with this, but to be perfectly frank, that's politics for you. I've no doubt that, were the tables turned, Cameron and his allies would be throwing around the same accusations (and indeed both the tories and various branches of the press have lambasted Milliband for Baldwin's appointment in the past).
