[lbo-talk] British voters punish Blair in local elections

[alanjacobson]

If the Spanish election and the British local elections show punishment of
the pro-war parties (and evidence of that as a trend is questionable
considering the vote totals of the Conservatives in the UK), it can be much
of a surprise because those electorates were never for the war to begin with
and now that it is a quagmire why would they more favorable? When are
Italian elections?

I'm sure Rove noted it when he was reading the WaPo while eating his
Cherrios but his schedule for the day didn't change because of it.
