...those independent voters who are in motion that Obama needs to capture if he is to win. One longtime Republican analyst, who was worked on just about every GOP presidential campaign for a generation, commented this week that Obama was on his way to making the sale to some number of persuadable independent voters in June and early July when he began to stumble. What appeared to be confusing - and in some cases contradictory - policy statements on Iraq, FISA and the Supreme Court decision on guns, in the view of this analyst, "froze" a number of independent or unaligned voters...

French Health Minister Roselyne Bachelot announced that she would scrap France's relatively permissive rules on sales of alcohol to youths. She told the Sunday paper Journal du Dimanche that she would impose a "total prohibition of alcohol sale to minors" by early 2009, and would also ban open bars during celebrations. Open-bar bashes - where participants can drink unlimited quantities of alcohol in exchange for a flat fee - have become, Bachelot says, a "classic element of student parties that encourages binge-drinking."
