...Ronald Reagan democrat, I was all for McCain in 2000 until the unfortunate effects of the Republican Party's upper echelon sank his efforts. But the traits that made me admire McCain's Straight Talk Express in 2000 are no longer apparent today. He lost my respect when he made a Faustian bargain to get the vote of his party's base, abandoning his critiques of the Iraq war and Jerry Falwell. I doubt independents will support him.

...might still manage to lose this so-called "ghetto of the rich". Because if Neuilly isn't safe for the UMP, no place is. Perched on the capital's western perimeter, with the leafy, sprawling Bois de Boulogne on its southern flank, Neuilly is a kind of Parisian Upper East Side: a quick commute to downtown offices, and a quiet residential enclave whose location gives residents a jump start on the Friday rush to Normandy beach homes.
