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.
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.
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!
Sounds like she’s getting a bit desperate and is ratcheting up the rhetoric.

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.

Time is running out for Sego and she knows it.
Sarkozy will keep his cool, and he will win.
If the idiots who have promised to riot do so, Sarkozy will have his first real test as President very shortly, and it is on precisely the field of battle that it should be. Disperse the racaille with a whiff of grapeshot, and France will change swiftly. It is time, and Sarkozy is the man to do it.
I’m leaving for a week’s vacation in Paris on May 19. Hope things are calm.
btt
Don’t make a mistale : French socialists are not lefties, they are communists.
