Convinced that the convergence wave is peaking anew, Messier says he'll surf it by reminding clients how "vital it is to own their customers"--or face getting crowded out through "the increased dominance of Google." Playing the role of strategist and adviser in that evolution may not involve the "master of the world" role, but it will allow Messier to test his vision without the career risk that was once Vivendi...
...Lowering Sarkozy's profile in the campaign may have helped the right: First-round voting nationally showed leftists beating conservatives by 47.05% to 45.29% - a margin far closer than the tidal wave of protest that had been predicted in opinion polling. Little wonder, then, that Fillon and other conservative leaders applauded the initial outcome as "balanced," and denounced leftist claims that constituted a rebuke of Sarkozy as as "partisan politics that don't correspond to local realities...

Until late February, neither candidate had much of an organization in the state - a handful of junior staffers but no more. But without prompting from the national campaign, dozens of self-generated Obama organizations have sprung up around the state in recent months, drawing in thousands of supporters. "The brilliance of the Obama campaign is that it is very organic," said Dan Wofford, an Obama supporter and son of former...
