118 bullshit 

Qui travaille pour Ségolène Royal ? Cette question, la présidente socialiste de la région Poitou-Charentes, candidate à l'investiture de son parti pour 2007, n'aime pas qu'on la lui pose. Parce qu'elle veut maîtriser sa communication au plus près, parce qu'elle juge nécessaire de "garder une part de mystère", selon sa propre expression, la socialiste favorite des sondages ne délègue à personne le soin de la représenter ou de parler à sa place. "Je ne suis pas sous tutelle", répète Mme Royal. Et puis elle s'est "un peu renseignée" : "Aux Etats-Unis, affirme-t-elle, (la presse) ne fait rien sur les proches des candidats."

Conversations with more than a dozen Democrats from the lowest to the highest levels inside the Kerry campaign, and several more outside the campaign, reveal a lot of praise--mostly for Kerry's policy staff--but also lots of sniping and complaints about the personnel moves Kerry has made over the last two months.
