Brown takes a page from the Clinton playbook

Gordon Brown told the BBC this morning that he’ll be holidaying in Britain this year. Dick Morris will be proud! With all his Middle Britain pleasing micro-initiatives–flying the flag over Number 10 and the like–the strategy of the early weeks of the Brown premiership bear an uncanny resemblance to Clinton’s between his drubbing in the mid-terms in 1994 and his re-election in 1996. All we need now is for Brown to endorse school uniforms and the v-chip.
