You are right about Blair...

I think he would be MORE successful if he distanced from Clinton..because I know a lot of conservative admire him, and enjoy his speeches..

But, the don't admire anything about Bubba or listen to his speeches.

It would be a pity for Blair to cut himself off from half of America by tying himself to Clinton.

Blair is in a difficult position because ideologically/politically he is nearer Clinton but the WOT and his support of GWB has confused things.

I get the impression that recently he is trying to be close to both of them. What with Clinton supporting him last year and then at the conference this year plus various conferences they have attended together.

On the other-hand he also shows unwavering support for GWB.

Deep down I still feel the main reason for both of the above is that he will align himself with anyone who can give him the maximum exposure and propel him onto the world stage.
