On Saturday afternoon I got a text. From Ed Milliband. Apparently this type of canvassing is unique in British politics. The Guardian coverage of Milliband the younger’s unsolicited messaging excitedly made a cliched Obama comparission. I’m less certain that the younger less popular brother of a lightweight would want to be compared to the most [...]
