I hear the loser concedes by waving a white flag — in French tradition.

Frog 1 - “Who won the election?”
Frog 2 - “I give up.”

I am so looking forward to her concession speech. I have rarely been this happy to see someone lose.
Except, of course, if you don’t count AlGore and Jean-Francois Kerry.

I so pray that you are right, and that we WILL hear her sour, rude, pessimistic whine as she concedes.

Umm, why don’t they just ban polling in France 24 hours before election instead of banning the results of polls?
To: Cincinna
ban the publication of any opinion pollsAt first this seems horrifying, but upon reflection seems reasonable. Scratch that, we've got McCain-Feingold to protect us.

The only thing that matters about this election in France is that Chirac is gone...joining Germany’s Schroeder and Canada’s Martin, Saddam Hussein, and every other major leader who opposed the Iraq War.
In contrast, President Bush and PM Blair and PM Howard are still in Office.

So by 4:30 tomorrow, we will know one way or another?
Cool.
The riots aren’t as big a thing as a general strike would be, that would be painful.

I hear the loser concedes by waving a white flag — in French tradition. Actually, I think the winner does that at the inauguration ceremony. It's like the final exam. Failure to pass the white flag raising test voids the election.

As much as I love election day news I think forbidden polling results until all states have finished (including Hawaii) is a good idea

We’ll see if it’s a “bad bet.” But you certainly have a bad attitude. If something looks like good news, and is regarded as good news by many well-informed people on our side, why not take a hopeful attitude until such as time as the hopes prove unfounded? If they do?
