LONDON--Tony Blair has been having a rough time of it recently: Leaked memos, accusations of being more concerned with his image than his government, poor poll showings, bickering between cabinet ministers, heckling at his speeches and worst of all, his teenage son found passed out in his own vomit in central London...
...What does the future hold for the PRP? A wild, rabble-rousing ride through the backwaters of the American electorate, followed by a probable quick death (Pat has to poll that magic 5 percent in November to hang onto his federal dollars, and it doesn't look good).
