Sarkozy "called Saturday for labels on all meat describing how the animals were slaughtered. A recent poll said halal meat was the No. 1 worry of the French people, he told reporters while explaining his shift."

Post-election reaction from the other side of the world. Russian leftists call for another election. Not concerning a campaign per se, but portrays the backlash of "unsatisfactory" elections, and a hopefully democratic resolution to it (contrast with Lebanon)

Obama is technically a shoe-in for the Democratic candidacy, the final vote on Tuesday will determine the end of the low-key primaries which were taking place. As the article states, it's almost "party time".

When people started shooting at each other in Tripoli and Tarik el Jdide, the rest of the Lebanese were visibly angry. Residents were clamoring loudly on radio talk shows, on TV stations and on the internet for the insanity to stop. A cry for assembly was made across social media platforms, one that echoed faintly on the ground and brought no material progress.

The pattern of dysfunctional politics in Lebanon is well established. When major decisions are to be reached, everyone throws in a caveat to gain from the process. In the end a compromise is reached, so that much remains the same. The elections next year will most probably resemble those of 2009, even if the stakes are higher. Almost everything you're hearing today is the hollow echo of manipulation.

Is being cool a problem when you're a president? Does this ad make Obama's fans like him any less? Could Mitt Romney ever pull off Al Green?"

According to what I've heard, this was always the case with the Front National. Same happened when Jean Marie Le Pen was at the head of the party. They never endorse anyone
