Campbell gives thumbs up for Kerry
Edited on Fri Apr-23-04 04:11 PM by JoFerret

Tony Blair may be tight-lipped about his preferred candidate for the US presidency, but his former right-hand man is not so reticent.
Alastair Campbell has punctured his former boss's careful neutrality by declaring his support for the Democratic presidential candidate, John Kerry, during a live question and answer session.

As part of his roadshow, an Audience with Alastair Campbell, Dr Sallie Baxendale asked the retired No 10 press chief: "Who would you like to win the presidential election?"

"Well, although I said I would answer anything ..." began Mr Campbell, to disgruntled noises from the audience. He then turned the question around, asking Dr Baxendale who she thought his favoured candidate might be, given what he called his "left-of-centre politics".

She responded by saying that, although the audience had paid for Mr Campbell's and not her views, she thought he would vote for the Democratic candidate. To this, Mr Campbell gave an enthusiastic thumbs-up sign.
