UK Election Upset? UPDATE: Not this year!
Early reports mentioned on Rush today that exit polling in Britain has Tony Blair headed for a major defeat at the hands of the Tories.
That would be very interesting. No doubt the MSM will spin it that this is due to his support for the Iraq war - but with a lot of other things going on over there that don't catch the press' attention here, I'm not sure that that's the answer.
It's also worth noting, that exit polls have sometimes blown it, so we'll see if this holds.
UPDATE: It didn't. Blair is a soft socialist, so it's too bad for the Brits, ultimately, but he HAS been a real trooper in the terror war. The Chief's call: it's a wash as to whether it's better one way or another.
