Never seen that before which was kinda weird. Kind of &#8216;A&#8217; lister stuff Which <a href=\"http:\/\/scobleizer.wordpress.com\/\">Scoble<\/a>(and Robert your blog sure doesn&#8217;t suck!), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scripting.com\/\">Winer<\/a> and the other old timers object so strongly too.<\/p>\n<p>But all in all it was a very good evening and Ellee sure enjoyed herself and come the next election here in the UK  I&#8217;m sure her ratings will rocket too.
