...debating. What does she think about debt, about foreign policy, about economic governance? You've got to talk about this stuff. And you can't talk to party activists like you do to public opinion." Oh no? Royal thinks she can. She promises a bottom-up approach to an electorate disenchanted with France's élitist and sclerotic political culture. She stays away from the abstract nouns beloved of French intellectuals, and makes a very public point of listening instead to voters' concerns, often sent to her heavily-frequented website called, in sturdily nonideological fashion, Desires for the Future.

...temperature and humidity to immerse its visitors--and, it hopes, drum up recruits--in harrowing and heroic battlescapes ranging from the icy mountains of Korea to the sweltering jungles of Vietnam.

It's that strange conviction that generated the few, modest disclosures of use to the U.S. Complicating...
...taking what some called anti-Hispanic positions on tightening border enforcement are long gone. "We haven't seen any empirical support for that," says one senior GOP aide. The aide points to close races around the country where Democrats are falling into line behind a border-security-first approach, and a recent AP survey that showed no significant new voter registration in cities where pro-immigration rallies had taken place...
