Vive La France! Vive La Liberty!
and viva madame guillotine!
oops, wrong revolution... GRIN.
There is still hope of freedom in France!
Lets hope it’s not like the USA, where the leftist starts off losing but as the day (and fraud) goes on the gap shrinks.
Sounds great!
Vive la France!
Now France will only be mildly annoying instead of rabidly anti-American.
It is very unlikely that Sarkozy will lose.
What interest the French people is to know the margin of his victory.
The defeat for the left should be hard. Let’s bury the monkeys of May 68 !!
Just sitting here wondering how many cars will be flipped over and burned this time?...
That qualifies as a huge victory! :)
Yes, the relationships between France and the United States will be closer, like with Merkel’s Germany.
I hope Sarkozy wins, and if he does I think he’ll work hard to reform France’s economy and at rekindling good relations with the US. But in the end, French bureacrats, elitists, socialists and commnunists (the farmers and truckers) will prevent Sarkozy from initiating the badly needed reforms and nothing much will change.
If it’s over 5%, I’ll be really pleased. Hopefully the French are getting tired of the nonsense.
Sometimes it seems like the rest of the world is getting more capitalist and rational, slowly, while we are sliding more left.
Everyone does seem to be weak on jihadism except for Aussie’s Howard.
I share your fears.
But French people had never voted so much for a guy like Sarkozy before.
Sarkozy didn’t make many negotiations. He propose his views, and stands to his ground. That’s why he is so controversial (i.e. fought by the MSM) but so supported by people.
Wait and see.
Why are so many people here focused on this? It’s France. It doesn’t effect anyone here.
If there was a French website like FreeRepublic, except with socialists, and they were commenting on our elections and cheering on John Kerry, everyone here would be saying the same thing. “Why do they care” and “butt-out France” would be the most common posts. No-doubt people did this back in 2004 when various European newspapers were shilling for Kerry and telling the U.S. “the world wants you to vote in John Kerry.”
What I’m basically saying is, don’t write stuff like “Europeans need to ming their own business” in 2008 when their media is cheering on Hillary Clinton.
My son is currently (today) touring the Normandy sites and will be headed to Paris on Wednesday.
I have been following this election closely in particular the comments by Royal regarding riots.
Question. Do they report by area (like the U.S. media) of who is ahead by % or is there a black-out until the election is done and the results are announced.
