The French conservative candidate Nicolas Sarkozy, presented by Frontpagemag.com as "the best chance for America", is currently ahead in the polls.
What made his success is his strong stands in complex issues like immigration, foreign policy and economy.
More interesting, Sarkozy copied most of the successful campaign of George W. Bush in 2004.
Last week, he said that the coming elections "will be about values". Like Bush said in 2004.
Asking about America, Sarkozy declared "I'm a friend of the United States even if we can disagree on some issues. I don't forget that they were there to help us when we needed so much."
About Iran : "I won't respect Ahmadinejad because he has been elected. Hitler was also elected."
And the last, Sarkozy appeared Friday on a horse, copying the "cow-boy style" which is typical among American conservatives.
This same Friday, a journalist of the conservative french paper "Le Figaro" wrote that France "is witnessing a neoconservative revolution, saluted by the people. Like it happens in America in the 1980's, French people wish to return to the values, to the basic distinction between Good and Evil, to the love of a national identity. (...) To the greatest anger of the left, Sarkozy's remark that "the French origins are undoubtely Christians" could give him the victory."
When do the polls open tomorrow?
I sincerely hope for the best for France in the upcoming election.
Do you have any prognostications on the outcome of tomorrow’s elections?
Sarkozy says he would not support any military action to force Iran to give up its nuclear program, and he wants "to go as far as possible with sanctions." He says Chirac was right not to join the war in Iraq and that the hanging of Saddam Hussein was a "mistake," even though he was "the worst of men." Sarkozy also does not want Turkey to join the European Union.
Amen, brother. AMEN!!
Maybe now they’ll allow our aircraft to overfly their airspace.
My prediction: bombs will detonate in the Paris public transit system, with hundreds dead and wounded; al-Qaeda will proclaim the French will have more on the way for supporting the Great Satan; and the Leftists will be voted inr by a landslide.
The same way as Madrid.
Sarkozy is the most pro-american of the French candidates, that’s true.
But France is one of the most stupid country of the Western civilization.
The mix gives you Sarkozy, a pro-american not so “pro”, an anti-islamofascism not so “anti” and a pro-west not so “pro”.
As said neocon French university professor Guy Millière, a friend of mine, former adviser of Ronald Reagan and personal
friend of David Horowitz, Tony Blankley, Norman Podhoretz and William Kristol, Sarkozy is not the best candidate.
He is the only one not entirely catastrophic.
My pronostics : Sarkozy 30%, and Segolène Royal 23-25%.
The rest is useless to notice.
That compares well with other polls that I have seen. Some give Segolène Royal as little as 19%, but your guess is quite reasonable.
Yes, I’m inclined to agree with you. He’s far better than the others, but there’s a lot of doubt whether he’s good enough. Unless he hits the ground running and starts expelling Muslims the day after he is elected, he will fail. And I doubt whether he has the guts to do that.
As an European, when Spain retreated from Iraq, I nearly died of anger.
Who in Western Europe does have such courage? Any who do would be pilloried in the press.
Merci pour votre blog.
I have added it to my Favourites list.
Intriguingly, at one time both the area now known as Iraq and Spain were essentially part of the same country.
The French left is trying to make people fear another disaster like the one of 2002 when extremist Le Pen reached the second round. If people fear Le Pen, they abandon democracy and vote for anybody but him.
That’s the great French democracy...
Thank you sir.

If memory serves me correct, in Madrid the bombs went off a few days before the election so to let the anger pass and fear settle in
AQ is a little late if they plan to use the same MO
The real deal here is not who is the best candidate to run France. French people have been taken liberal drugs fro so much time that they actually cannot recover before decades.
Did you know 10% of the French people, the employees of the sate, are better paid, have better salaries, have better situations when they retire, they work only 35 hours a week and still they are the one who complain and stop working the most to demonstrate (about 100 days of work each year for professors )?
And the 90% of other citizen don’t complain. They even support the demonstrators and their “social” events !
This country is crazy. People are crazy.
So how do you want to find a reasonable president to govern mad people ?
