...David Cameron: We have. [Senator] John McCain came to our conference and I admire him a great deal. Lots of things we won't agree about on every dot and comma - our approach to Iraq is probably quite different. The Conservative Party has also always had a number of good contacts with the Democrats, and we should have contacts with both sides but obviously the Republicans are our sister party. We're together in the International Democratic Union and other bodies and there are good and strong ties there...

I was doing an interview last night on BBC Online, which now has 4 million daily users. The Internet, television, the proliferation of news and other channels on the TV, changes in the way people read newspapers and online, I think, have weakened the importance of any one specific endorsement. But of course I'd like everyone to endorse the Conservative Party - but I believe...
