Blair Blogging

From The Guardian:

The Labour party is considering giving Tony Blair a weblog as part of its attempt to make its general election campaign an "engaging dialogue with the British people". Douglas Alexander, Labour's election coordinator, told Guardian Unlimited he is considering "all means to communicate with the voters directly" for the campaign
Good for Blair. I'd like to see a Blair Blog - and hope he wins reelection. I'm not a huge fan of his domestic policies in Britain, but he's been America's best ally since September 11, 2001, a strong and true friend in the War on Terror.

His domestic policies are terrible!

Please understand that that Tony Blair is a left wing abberation, a supposed left-winger, hated by the 'true' left, who was in the CND in the 1980's until he realised it wasn't a vote winner.

If a Conservative PM had been in power the US would have been even *more* well supported. Look at Thatcher for instance.

The *worst* thing that could happen to Britain is that he gets a third term!

Personally I love true leader blogs. Paul Martin (our PM) has one, not updated often enough though. Pres Jimmy Carter has a great one. While I don't agree with much of Blair's FOREIGN policy, he's done alright for Britain during his terms and I'd love to read what he personally had to say.

Tony Blair is a brilliant man, and one quick thinking politician as opposed to the moron we have "running" the U.S.
While I know it's not possible, I would much rather have Tony Blair as a U.S. candidate for future president than ANY of our impending "choices."
There is something disheartening about trying to pick the most powerful man in the world from a field that includes a man that worries the rest of the world might "misunderestimate America's Nukular capabilities" or some leftist that wants to give the U.N. the right to determine all future actions of the U.S. military.

There is an old saying that goes "the devil is in the details"; I think we are at a critical juncture where "God needs to be in the details".......... is there middle ground somewhere... any where.... can't we choose an option that causes the least amount of pain?

Wonder if he'll have a tipjar pledge drive, like Sullivan?

Of course there is a middle ground...

Start using ' instead of " for your irony/scare quotes.

Paul Martin's blog is dullsville. It's like a parody of what a blog could be. Glimpses of real opinions but always in that distinctive, measured tone of the staid politico. There's nothing in there that couldn't have been written by some anonymous party hack. No personality at all.

I'll take John Howard every single day of every single week. His is the very definition of a sweet political blog. Booyah.

Please, don't forget Spain's José María Aznar, he also went all-out for the Coalition...and I have the impression that he's more of a decent guy (in his beliefs and policies, not as a person)than Blair. My two cents here.
