I can see to whom leans the orientation of these articles, don’t worry Sarko will get the votes, a “karcher” for five years is not the death penalty ;

As far as Bayrou is concerned, he is not that idiot you presented ; he’ll have a chance to lead the new party “parti d√©mocrate” with Sego with the most part of her partisans + right dissidents; so Sarko will not have the full liberty to initiate his radical “liberal” ideas

As an American living in the southwest of France, always reported as traditionally left (? I know lots of Americans at heart-although most would cringe because we the people are portrayed as psycho gun toting cowboys aka old wild west) anyway back to subject, in my little village, most people voted for Bayrou because he was a small step towards what Sarkozy proposes but not too radical!
The French are very cautious by nature and only “swing-out, full-scale” when they are sure to flash full colors is safe, think about it, in a country where it’s been not ok to be outside main stream politcal thought (ie death or exile), you learn to be cautious if you don’t agree. Since Mitterand, anyone who felt HE was wrong was exiled, and DeGaulle, same thing, both men revered as saints of FRANCE!

Go back to the Protestant reformations, France swung all over the place, and still the favorite king is Henri the 4th who switched parties (well?beliefs) to be king…

Demonizing Sarkozy didn’t work on the first round, and it will be useless in the final round. But it will not disappear.

The BDS virus that infected the left manifested as Bush Derangement Syndrome,jumped the Atlantic to England in the form of Blair Derangement, skipped to Australia as Howard Derangement. Now the virus mutated once more to Sarko Derangement. Anyone cares to guess where and when and who will catch the bug next?

“Never mind that the various blends of Trotskyism, Communism, and anti-globalizationism couldn’t agree on a unified candidature, never mind that they hate each other’s guts and each one was determined to destroy our economy and reduce us to wretched slavery in his own personal way, even if you lump them together they don’t amount to more than 13% of the total… And since you can’t lump them together, its 13% worth of nothing.”

I’m sorry, it’s just too irresistible:

BRIAN: Are you the Judean People’s Front?

REG: Fuck off!

BRIAN: What?

REG: Judean People’s Front. We’re the People’s Front of Judea! Judean People’s Front. Cawk.

FRANCIS: Wankers.

BRIAN: Can I… join your group?

REG: No. Piss off.

BRIAN: I didn’t want to sell this stuff. It’s only a job. I hate the Romans as much as anybody.

PEOPLE’S FRONT OF JUDEA: Shhhh. Shhhh. Shhh. Shh. Shhhh.

REG: Stumm.

JUDITH: Are you sure?

BRIAN: Oh, dead sure. I hate the Romans already.

REG: Listen. If you really wanted to join the P.F.J., you’d have to really hate the Romans.

BRIAN: I do!

REG: Oh, yeah? How much?

BRIAN: A lot!

REG: Right. You’re in. Listen. The only people we hate more than the Romans are the fucking Judean People’s Front.

P.F.J.: Yeah…

JUDITH: Splitters.

P.F.J.: Splitters…

FRANCIS: And the Judean Popular People’s Front.

P.F.J.: Yeah. Oh, yeah. Splitters. Splitters…

LORETTA: And the People’s Front of Judea.

P.F.J.: Yeah. Splitters. Splitters…

REG: What?

LORETTA: The People’s Front of Judea. Splitters.

REG: We’re the People’s Front of Judea!

LORETTA: Oh. I thought we were the Popular Front.

REG: People’s Front! C-huh.

FRANCIS: Whatever happened to the Popular Front, Reg?

REG: He’s over there.

P.F.J.: Splitter!

I think Sarkozy will win, but ultimately there will be a repetition of 1940. The only difference is that the enemy is internal now. It’s a shame, but inevitable given the nature of the French. Since America won’t save France a third time, all we ask is that the refugees head for Quebec and not here.

Yeah, it’s a mean-spirited comment, but I’m still angry about how the wonderful artwork in the Abbesses Metro station was vandalized by some banlieue punks and *still* hasn’t been cleaned up as of late last year.

I think the second round will actually be very close, and I fear that S√©go will come out on top. Irrational fear, perhaps, but leftist anger is going to erupt, and I’m sure S√©go will find the right promises to make before the final vote. And yet, out here in the provinces I saw more S√©go posters defaced than Sarko, and the only political graffiti to be found is the ever present, “Le Pen…vite!” So maybe I’m just paranoid.

BTW, I’m guessing she will probably fly out of Niort, seat of the prefecture of Deux-S√®vres.

If it was based on looks she would win hands down. I mean she is very good looking! http://www.americanlegends.blogspot.com/

Is a Sarkozy win a good thing? I am asking this from a US perspective. I get the feeling that it is, but I would like more analysis than I can seem to find on the net. If it’s good then how good? Since dissidentfrogman went silent my sense ability to get clear, english language, analysis has degraded greatly.

“found the assailants, attempted to settle their differences peacefully.”

Wow! Even on the front lines of the soo-to-be-civil war in France, where they should really know better (from history and just common sense) there is still an incredible amount of confusion and magical thinking.
