To get rid of the Prime Minister would simply underline any accusations of division in the party and utterly guarantee we would lose the next election." Hardly a ringing endorsement, but perhaps an indication that for better or worse, Brown could have more months or even years...
...husband that Obama aides nicknamed her "the Closer" because she'd get more commitment cards signed at her rallies than the candidate did at his. At 44, she is vivid, engaging, part therapist, part professor, part girlfriend who comes over for coffee and tells you hard truths about the stupid mistakes you're making...
