...Jean-Marc Lech, co-president of the Ipsos polling agency, calls it "a sentimental disappointment." The French, he says, feel "chagrin that promises made aren't being respected," and that has made Sarkozy fair game on all fronts. "If he'd boosted economic growth, increased purchasing power and decreased unemployment, as promised, he could do whatever he wanted in his private life with absolute impunity," says Lech.

The risk of not doing so, the paper quoted a presidential advisor explaining, was taking a humiliating "slap in the face." Mindful of that peril, Neuilly's UMP brass teamed up with Jean Sarkozy on Sunday to announce they were dumping Martinon to launch a rival campaign - doubtless with the president's blessing. On Monday morning, Martinon called it quits in Neuilly, but did say Sarkozy had rejected his resignation as presidential spokesman...

...Secretary of State for Human Rights Rama Yade - are at risk. But perhaps no one loomed larger as a target for anti-Sarkozy anger than Martinon. For that reason, the President must think carefully about appointing the person most frequently cited to replace Martinon as candidate in Neuilly: Jean Sarkozy...
