"George the Stubborn." Nick Denton recommends that John Kerry affix that nickname to the president. With that message, Denton asserts, he can win voters. How utterly British that strategy is; should he take it back to his homeland, Denton might be able to assemble a campaign that can win some more seats for the Liberal Dems in Parliament.
And, also like a Brit, Denton then paints the American dream entirely in colonial colors, with the grandest of self-deceptions coming in his writing of "individuals who found themselves on an unfamiliar continent," and completely failing to reference those who are still landing on these shores, including himself.
As he notes in conclusion, he hasn't much of career in political work ahead of him. Though, then again, he might if he jumped back to the other side of the pond.
