Above all because the "European Union" can only be struggling, embarrassed, and lacking, now it seems clear Blair will not be appointed president of the European Council.
Did we win? Unless there's a last minute zombie recall from beyond the grave, I think we won.
People didn't expect the Titanic to sink, either.

This isn't just the end of Blair's hopes, it's the end of Blair's influence. Once Dubya was gone, he lost his most significant patron.
He has no one of equal seriousness to lean on now. What's left of the rabid right will be happy to throw him to the dogs.
I predict another book deal, soon.
Please don't declare victory until a Pres. is put in. Like in the US you might be one real or staged terrorist attack away from reversing things. Now where's the fun in that! - Megatron
