ROYAL ATTACKING SARKO TODAY IN FRONT OF 40,000 SUPPORTERS
Posted on 05/01/2007 9:11:43 PM PDT by Cincinna
The attacks will come hard and heavy from now until Sunday.
My prediction is Royal will overplay it, and Sarko will keep his cool and come off looking strong, solid, but not harsh.
This attacks may gin up her troops, but they won’t get anyone to change his mind. Sarko, by being the underdog, and being attacked, can, if he plays it correctly, use it to push him over the top.
FReepMail me if you want to be on the FRENCH ELECTION PING LIST.
I think Royal will win. The feminists have been pushing for a Western triumvirate for a long time - Royal will “open the door” for Hillary. Terrible.
If Royal loses, as it seems more likely every day, it will be a bad message for a Hillary future.
Sarko’s not the underdog. You need to re-read the article. Sarko is already leading Royal in the polls by 53 to 47.
Cough. It's the "long, hot summer" stratergery. Brings back memories. Once upon a time it brought back Nixon.
leftist french du du sounds just like
leftist american du du.
oui, oui.
Has anyone marked the incongruity of a socialist being called Royal?
What a surprise! The leftist trashing the more viable candidate. The politics of personal destruction have crossed over the Atlantic. Leftists are the same on all continents.
No kidding! Lenin would be turning in his grave.
Royal told some 60,000 supporters at a Paris sports stadium that she was the only candidate who "wants to reform France and wants civil peace in my country."Yeah, Sarkozy wants open warfare. What a lying whore Royal is.
“His tough talk has sparked fears he would divide rather than unite the nation.”
Nothing divides a nation more than Socialism!
I have been posting all the articles to the FRENCH ELECTION PING LIST. Obviously, I read them before I post them.
My point is that Sarko has much to gain by being attacked, and being perceived as the underdog. Royal is already screeching and overplaying her hand. Sarko will keep is sangfroid and go on to victory.
It is only going to get worse before Sunday.
I watched re runs of early debates - Giscard v Mitterand Mitterand v Chirac. Lower blows and dirtier than any American debate ever.
Sounds like she’s getting a bit desperate and is ratcheting up the rhetoric.

The “leftist” mainstream media has been the same politically everywhere in the world for a very long time.
In anticipation of a Sarko victory, the Paris Bourse, the Stock Exchange, the CAC 40 (the French equivalent of the Dow-Jones Industrial Average) went over the bench mark of 6,000 points. For the first time in 6 1/2 years the Paris Bourse gained 0,68 % in the beginning of trading Wednesday morning pushing it over the 6,000 mark.
