Up to half of the four million likely California Democratic voters are expected to vote before primary day, as more than a million already have done, and many of those have doubtless cast their votes before Obama gained new momentum after winning in South Carolina. No wonder that the Clinton campaign, trying to take advantage of her name recognition, has focused its efforts on early voting.

He notes municipal balloting in March will be the first electoral "grade" Sarkozy faces since his presidential victory. And that, he predicts, will doubtless be followed by a major cabinet shuffle no matter what the result. While the first series of evaluations will not have taken place by then, announcing the system now underlines what Duhamel calls Sarkozy's "culture of obtaining results...
