...Most polls may put the GOP ahead in voter enthusiasm, but that excitement has yet to translate into campaign cash. By the end of February, the National Republican Campaign Committee, which works to elect Republicans to the House, had slightly more than $6 million in the bank, compared with the nearly $20 million held by its Democratic counterpart. The Republican committee in the Senate that finances campaigns had $12.9 million on hand, compared with $14.3 million available to Senate Democrats. And the Republican National Committee trailed the Democratic National Committee, $9.5 million to $10.7 million. The war-chest...

Rather than tweak the right's message, Sarkozy focused on a get-out-the-vote push to urge conservatives to go to the polls, a move that helped to slightly increase voter turnout but failed to prevent the left's landslide win. Now Sarkozy may have to accept a change of tactics. Says Stéphane Rozès, president of the Paris-based Cap political consultancy: "The question [voters are] asking isn't about whether conservative policies and reform in France...
