Snowboarding's carefree psyche does have its faults. For instance, it might actually help to pay attention to the competition. Snowboard crosser Lindsey Jacobellis was cruising last week to the team's fourth straight snowboard gold, which would have given the U.S. a clean sweep. Her lead was so big she could have snowshoed to the finish. But on the second- to-last jump she hot-dogged it, clutching the rail of her board in mid-air, and botched the landing so badly she fell and got silver instead.

Politicians, after all, have always taken themselves and their contests more seriously than their electorates ever do. Among the public, the competent delivery of public services - clean hospitals, trains that run on time - will trump windy political battles anytime. Yet it isn't only political journalists who might be allowed to mourn the passing of Europe's old political style. In the past, Europe's politics were sufficiently technicolor that they threw up leaders who dreamed...
