LH>France is voting in a conservative
to replace a conservative (actually Sarcozy's not a conservative,
but my point
holds)
as for Blair, well, 1. he'd already announced he'd be stepping
down, Gordon Brown's taking over 2. in Wales
(Welsh Assembly elections) Labour lost votes to Plaid Cymru and
the Conservatives
(the Lib Dems did poorly, really, and in my seat, lost votes to
Labour), 3. in the North of England, Labour held on/the
Conservatives didn't do that well. I doubt that in Scotland
(which was as close as Bush/Gore and came with hanging chads...,
there may be 3 separate
legal challenges) Iraq was the key issue. (In Wales, there was
considerable unhappiness
with the Welsh Assembly Labour regime for reasons not connected
to Blair -- who is otoh not
particularly well liked in Wales -- and I'd say the vote had to
do with that. But then of course
I saw the campaign.)

There you go again, ignoring evidence and posing mere slogans and
assertions -- just like always.
Yeah, you Leftists-Pacifists are doing almost as well at getting
the U.S. defeated now as you did back in the Vietnam era: the
greatest victory ever for the Surrender Monkeys.
And yeah, too bad about old Blair. But all is not lost, France
is voting in a conservative; which only goes to show that
propaganda and idealistic fantasies only go so far -- and are
tolerated only so long.
