...Even more crucially, despite the election of market-friendly President Nicolas Sarkozy, France’s relationship with financial markets is a troubled one–hence Kerviel’s heroic status. In 2006, a University of Maryland poll revealed that only 36 percent of French people believed that free-market capitalism was the best system of economic organization, compared to 74 percent in China.

Pundits may well marvel that, for once, participants in Tuesday's D.C., Maryland and Virginia Democratic Potomac Primaries will be casting votes that "actually matter," but yesterday's results among Republicans show that even if a party's nomination is all sewn up, votes can still matter quite a lot.

He is expected to do well in this weekend's caucuses in Washington and Nebraska and sweep next Tuesday's Beltway cluster of Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia, which have a large number of upscale Democrats and African Americans. And he goes forward with a growing financial advantage, having raised $32 million in January - largely from small donors who can be tapped again - which was more than twice as much as Clinton's $13.5 million take.
