Two Swiss sites have predicted the outcome of the French election base on exit polls taken as of 5:00 P.M. Paris time. With a record turnout of 75%, they are reporting that Sarkozy has 54% to Royal’s 46%.

Anyone else notice how law-an-order candidates are always branded “right-wing”? Are the MSM implying that lawlessness and disorder are core left-wing principles?

Note also that the Reuters article refers to Sarkozy as a “right-winger” (without the quotation marks).

I don’t think Sarko self-identifies as a right-winger, and I don’t think he *is* a right-winger in any global context, and probably not in a French context.

One more example of transparent bias.

Ironically, as I explain at my blog, any riots could help Sarko push through the reform measures that Sego and her socialist pals (and the banlieu "youths") object to.

Mogwai:

What terrorist attack? I have been told by all sorts of lefties that Cheney just made AlQaida up to scare people. There really is no AlQaida, except in the minds of righties donch know.

The truth is the lady is saying there will be riots if her apponent wins because the people who have lost the election will take to the city streets of Paris and burn the place down. That is called extortion.

Cheney was not promising that Republicans would start flying planes into buildings.

BTW, have any of the major Democratic contenders come up with any ideas for fighting with AlQaida or are they doing their three monkey thing?

Just leave Iraq high and dry and ignore AlQaida. We see no AlQaida, we hear no AlQaida, we speak of no AlQaida.

Nope, not the same thing and if you don’t see that…then you are hopeless.

DES MOINES, Iowa (CNN) — A November win by Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry would put the United States at risk of another “devastating” terrorist attack, Vice President Dick Cheney told supporters Tuesday.

Doesn’t compare to the “Mushroom Cloud” ad that President Johnson used against Barry Goldwater in 1964.

reliapundit,

Very nice, I think you nailed it! Too bad, I don’t think France has a chance either way.

Ah! What a Royal pain in the a**. Maybe Ward Churchill is her campaign director.

ROYAL AND GIULIANI HAVE BOTH WARNED OF INEVITABLE VIOLENCE IF THEIR OPPONENTS ARE ELECTED

However, there is an important distinction to be made here. From my buddy, Gormless Norman:

Royal’s warning is similar to Giuliani’s recent warning, insofar as both of them warn the public that if their opponent wins, there will be increased danger from Muslims.

But there is an all-important difference:

Giuliani is warning that, if the Democrats win, they will take a more conciliatory and appeasing posture towards Islamofascism, which will ultimately endanger us.

Royal is warning that, if we don’t take a more conciliatory and appeasing posture towards Islamofascism, we risk making them angry.

This is a Madrid Moment for France. However, I don’t think France will cave. What we have to remember is the riots are precisely the reason Sarkozy’s star has ascended in French politics.
