As I reported earlier in the election cycle, Sarko was bound to rebound.
Hollande is an inexperienced politician, and an elitist Socialist technocrat who is uncomfortable around regular people.
Not surprisingly, as I predicted, Marine le Pen has faded to the point if being inconsequential in the first round. Her neo-fascist Statist message is getting boring, and with Europe in severe economic & social strife, dragging France down, she has absolutely no experience, knowledge ir depth to bring to the table.
France is basically a center right country and is looking to Sarko for leadership drawn from his entire life in public service, as Minister of Finance, Minister of the Interior, and President.
The surprise has been François Bayrou, a traditional Centrist who has a following. He is personable, a good campaigner, but lacks experience.
But still, you can’t beat something with nothing.
This is good news indeed.
In short words; Europe needs a Conservative France.
