Tony Blair faces calls to "stand down"
Members of his own party are calling for Tony Blair to resign. In a poll conducted, the majority of Labourites think Blair has become a liability to the Labour Party.

Bush's coat tails are on fire! I hope the GOPers are stupid enough to hang on to Bush until November and support the fool! We just might take back Congress too! Tony played with fire and got burnt!

4. Maybe it's just a dream
But I think the RWers are going to hang onto their Golden Boy to the very last and go down the gurgler with him. At least, that's what I hope.

3. I don't think it says most Labourites think he's a liability
just that a few well known ones are now saying so, and that the Labour vote would be bigger with Brown leading, rather than Blair.

Labour party members might listen to this poll, and decide he's a liability, but that's by no means sure.
