For some reason, I think I have something to say to you. You think you have something to say to me? Email me at: gideonsblogger -at- yahoo -dot- com

John Howard rode to power in Australia, and revived that country's conservative party, on a platform of opposition to immigration, robust defense of national sovereignty, and cracking down on crime.

Michael Howard of Britain, presumptively the new Tory head, is a Euroskeptic (i.e. defender of British sovereignty) and is identified with Major-era policies of cracking down on crime and trying to reduce illegal immigration.

Coincidence? Or some grand harmonic convergence?

And what does this bode for Howard Dean's chances?
