Paris
I am back in Paris. It is cold and rainy. What do you expect? Tomorrow it may even snow.
John McCain is here too. But he's not too popular among the French people I talk to. "He's too warlike," said one ("Il est trop guerrier").
"He's another Bush," said another.
"So, who do the French like for President?" I asked the butcher. He was the last one working in the shop; the others had all gone home, leaving him to take care of the retardataires buying lamb at the last minute.
"Les français aiment Hillary [Eelahree]," he said. "She is very brillante, she has good relations with Europe, she reassures us."
The other people in the shop, two old ladies and a man, nodded their agreement.
That's interesting, 99% of the French people I've talked to about it are pro-Obama. And the media seems to be pro-Obama too.

Hi Sam! You're in Brittany, right? I was in the Seizième Profond. That probably explains some difference.
