British Election’s Prediction?

The British Labor Government was overwhelmingly rebuked in this week’s local elections.  The Conservatives won in a landslide and are positioned to win a Parliament majority when the next general election is held.  For Gordon Brown it is bad news but as the Reverend Jeremiah Wright said, “the chickens are coming home to roost”.

It is just plain difficult to understand why Tony Blair was so enamored with George W Bush and so blind as to not see the folly of regime change.  I would be disappointed to hear that Tony’s motivation was juicy oil and reconstruction contracts that would keep the British economy rolling.  It truely represents a colossal error in judgement on Blairs part to have believed anything “W” said or promised.  Now, it seems that Blair’s successor, Gordon Brown must pay the price.

There are similar indications that Americans are finished with Bush and his crowd.  Some polls, however, still show McCain running fairly well versus either Hillary or Barack.  I would predict that once into the Presidential campaign, following the conventions, the distinction between Bush/Republicans/McCain will be lost and the voters will select a Democrat for the next President and sweep out many Republican incumbents and leave us with a Democratic majority in both Houses.  I just hope the Democrats understand this is less a vote for them, than a vote against Bush and all those who were connected.
