Of course he is. Be honest with yourself here - the LibDems will never be in power. The only power they hold is the ability to keep a minority Labour government in power and moderate it slightly Leftwards.
With Huhne in the lead they would've been marginalised, a fringe party down there with Plaid Cymru and the SNP. Huhne was ballot-box poison for the general public.
With Clegg they might just hold a few tens of seats. Enough to make a difference in a close election.
The days and delusions of "go back to your constituencies and prepare for power" are long gone.
