Will Obama Win? It may be tempting to call the U.S. presidential race, but there's still plenty of mystery left:
-- the rambunctious lunacy of the right -- the lethargic fatalism of the left -- the enigmatic appeal of Romney -- the puzzling missteps of Obama, who should have had this election sown up long ago. That's why I wrote "Comment Obama a perdu l'Amerique (How Obama Lost America)." The provocative title has won me lots of new conservative friends. But Obama fans will find much to cheer. And students of American politics and society will learn why the country is in such a mess. Now on sale: "Comment Obama a perdu l'Amerique (How Obama Lost America)" from Editions Denoel.
