Blair was advised by a whole raft of US spin doctors, but unlike the Tories this was kept largely out of the news during the campaign.
Democratic Party volunteers from the United States joined Blair's campaign, including Clinton's pollster Stan Greenberg, a veteran of previous Blair campaigns; Zack Exley, who directed John Kerry's online campaign; Karen Hicks, a key organizer of Howard Dean's New Hampshire campaign; and longtime Democratic party adviser Bob Shrum, who ran Kerry's presidential campaign. Republicans, the traditional allies of British Conservatives, were not much in evidence.
