Labour has enlisted one of the engineers of this week's Democratic victory in the US midterm elections in an attempt to boost its flagging fortunes before the local elections in May.

Howard Dean, the former presidential candidate and one of the men credited with masterminding the trouncing of the Republicans, will visit the UK next month to brief party officials about his pioneering campaigning techniques.

"The Welsh, Scottish and local elections next year are our midterms," said Hazel Blears, Labour's chair. "It has to be done differently for us to carry on being successful ... We're looking at how have upped their game."

1. Good for the Brits. At least they know quality when they see it.

I wonder why they didn't contact Carville or Emmanuelle? :sarcasm:

5. That answer is simple

carville and emanuel are unavailable.
They're in the hospital.
They injured their right arm patting themselves on the back
They injured their left hand stabbing Dean in the back

Kudos to Dr. Dean!
