He has gotten 200k followers after 4 days and raised $3 million on line in that time. This is fasinating and rather similar as a hopey thing to the Scottish National Party. I may also say that the NY Times has run several lengthy news articles on the Brit election in the last few days. and my other news source the Nation magazine is rather proud that David Miliband was once an intern for them. I have also learned that he roots for the Boston Red Sox (presumably not because they are red but maybe so). I bet no Brit knows that.
