hate to be politics posting late in the evening, and not everything can be transferred from UK to US, but feels worth remembering that before becoming a v successful government, New Labour in the 90's was an *absolutely* ruthless opposition, just a relentless killing machine, much to think about!

In fact, the national memory of the history of Britain tends to go Cold War/Thatcher-->New Labour and skip the bit in between, which is frustratingly also just far enough in the past I can't remember it either.
beyond that though, what blair and clinton shared were that they were snappy as fuck on their feet and could message on the spot
Post again & again.
US Dems need to hear this.
