  It will be interesting to see if this mega rally has any impact on the polls. It was a major event, a major play. If it doesnt then Sarkozy is all but lost. Howard speaks of desperation, and indeed its true. Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, famed model, was hurled into the camera limelight over the past few days in a blatant effort at populism. The jaded Sarkozy needed a psychological boost and he got it in the shape of Carla Bruni...his missus, who up til now has preferred the quiet life. But anything that makes Sarkozy look good is being used at the moment.
  
  Francois Hollande responded with his own media female who is a presenter on Direct 8 and very popular in France..sadly her name is unpronounceable and I can never remember it. Although I think I wrote it down before somewhere.
  
  So the battle for the female vote is on bigtime. I dont think either Sarkozy or Hollande are hugely charismatic so the women might have a bigger role to play as we get nearer poll deadline....with coverage in national magazines and so forth.
  
  In the meantime in the darkest hour of his ever deeper desperation, Sarkozy lurches to the right.
