Inquiring minds want to know if a tabloid is a quality sourse?
You would think that one of the only real allies we have left in Iraq would want to see W re-elected, not so says a British tabloid...
Daily recordTONY Blair has privately admitted that he wants Democrat John Kerry to win tomorrow's US election.
The Prime Minister has acknowledged to at least two confidantes that a Kerry win would be a 'lifeline' for his own political future.
If Kerry does triumph, the result will undoubtedly help draw the poison out of the Iraq debate in Britain in the run up to a general election It would mean Blair could focus on the future of Iraq - not the disasters of the past.
And it may also soothe fractured relations within the Labour Party.

The American pollster had an interesting message for the Labour team. It was, he said, impossible to predict the result of the American presidential contest - although he was quietly optimistic of a Democrat win. What was clear, however, he claimed, was that the Republicans' attempt to frighten the electorate into re-electing Mr Bush had failed.
This has been a Hammer House of Horror presidential election campaign. One Republican advert showed wolves looming out of a forest accompanied by the words "weakness attracts those who are waiting to do America harm". Another warned, chillingly: "Alone in the booth - why take the risk?" Even the baddie himself, Osama bin Laden, made a cameo appearance, rising like Dracula from the coffin just a few days before Hallowe'en to warn of terrifying dangers to come.
The Republican strategy has been to scare people into George W's arms - but Mr Greenberg argued that, whatever the eventual result, it had not been as successful as the Bush team had hoped, because the public saw it as a cynical attempt to exploit their sense of insecurity.

Mr Blair is trying to convince himself that they have the same sort of legacy in mind. But that is wishful thinking, and deep down the Prime Minister knows it. That is why - despite his conviction that Mr Bush would mellow in a second term - he secretly wants Mr Kerry to win tomorrow night.

Tony Blair is an ultra liberal and was best friends with Bill Clinton.
Why would this freakin suprise you?
Stop spamming the forum Dan.
Who is this "Tony Blaire"?
Tony Blair is the guy who took some serious heat for his backing of Dubya's war.
lol, so now we're supposed to listen to the British National Enquirer?
What's next for Kerry? An endorsement by Batboy?
Bush has mentioned that Blair supported the war at every opportunity so this would be news, if true. I don't trust British tabloids, though.
Next biggest thing would be if Poland's leader (whoever the that is) endorsed Kerry.
