Why is Howard Dean Helping Tony Blair's Party
I kid you not.

The British Guardian reports that Tony Blair's Labour party is to draft
in Howard Dean to help them win elections next year.


Labour drafts in US election architect for 'our midterms'


Howard Dean to advise party on campaigning strategy ahead of key May vote

Saturday November 11, 2006 The Guardian

"Many political observers will regard the drafting in of Mr Dean as bizarre, given that the Democratic victory was largely founded on voters' anger about the war in Iraq - the very subject which has alienated many Labour supporters and on which Mr Dean has been so outspoken."

Why would Howard help Bush's closest allies in Great Britain,
the labor party, ?

2. Because the Labor party is the UK's closest thing to Democrats.
Blair is the one that fucked it up....he's not helping Blair....just the party. I'm proud of him.

4.  Brits recognize Dean's organizational skills. Too bad our corporate media
doesn't cover the story.:-(

6. You answer your own question. Blair's PARTY
Not Blair. It's not for Blair's benefit. It's for the long term health of the party. It's not a move made to save Blair's rear end, that's for sure.
