*Prime Minister Tony Blair*: [At 10 Downing Street Reception] The man who accepted the baton from John Smith to take Labour out of the political wilderness. The leader of the largest Parliamentary majority of modern times and essentially President of the United Kingdom.		*Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott*: [At 10 Downing Street Reception] The 'Old Labour' part of 'New Labour'. A man that has proved that you can be successful even when you wear your heart on your sleeve (and when a Northern accent is needed to keep the left happy ).

*Congressman Dick Gephardt*: [At Gash Fundraiser] Former US House Speaker and then Minority Leader. The real reason for being on the Gash Campaign was to make this man Speaker and boy did he want it and he came really, really close.		*Prime Minister John Major*: [At Oxford Seminar] The last Tory Prime Minister of the 20th Century. Apparently he lost in a landslide because of some 'bastards' in his cabinet.
*Professor Charles O. Jones*: [At his Virginia home] Fellow of the Brookings Institute, American journalists favourite and author of 'The President in a Separated System' and many others. The reason for my passion for US politics; a friend and mentor.

		*Dr. Patch Adams*: [At Moncure's Party] The 'radical' doctor who was the basis for his name-sake movie staring Robin Williams. The movie was Hollywood crap, but it did raise lots of money for his hospital.
*William Hague MP*: [At Pudsey rally in April 2001 - I'm the one in the look-alike mask] The Leader of Her Majesty's Opposition, the Conservative Party. One of the Labour Party's strongest assets.
