What else would the clout be good <I>for</I>?)<BR/><BR/>I certainly wouldn't discourage you from writing some analysis of the speech.

It's a shame this isn't linked from Small Dead Animals or some site with heavy traffic, as it's a very good piece of inside information into the deputy leader.

I'll save this link in the event I can find a relevant way to link to it.Raphael Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14635417096024081504noreply@blogger.com
