Concession speech. But praising the youts.

[KJC1]

There is French TV coverage on CSPAN.

Thanks for that heads up, just switched it on!

[stephenjohnbanker]

BUMP!

[hsalaw]

Agreed.

[tkathy]

IMO this bodes well for a strong on security candidate like Rudy to connect with independents and disaffected democrats. I suspect the dims will redouble their efforts to destroy Rudy.

[SE Mom]

Wow!

Congratulations, France!

[Porterville]

The big war clicks one step closer....

VICTORY!!

[RobbyS]

BBC is interviewing every Royal voter they can reach. Odd that they should try to portray the losers as the majority. But that’s what they do all the time, isn’t it?

[SauronOfMordor]

Let the Rioting Begin!

[Judith Anne]

Hurray! I’m so happy for France—what wonderful news that Sarko won!

Thanks so very much for keeping us all informed about the election—you did great!

[cajungirl]

I think the new guy likes us,,why so negative?

I was over there in December for a week and stayed in several French homes. Many, many French citizens are just as fed up with the liberal, socialits, marxist, abetting, corrupt governmental policies in their country as we are in ours. They are voicing those feelings in the vote today and I believe it will make a difference...they sure hope it will. Those folks I spoke with, who feel this way, still, to this day, hold the United States in high esteem.

The DBM portrays France (and other countries) as being anti American and most buy into the belief that all French are anti American.

Thanks for the on-the-spot, real life report.

And what a way to end the campaign. A car chase through the streets of paris.

Gotta love the french.

[Maeve]

The BBC are evil and must be squashed.

[krb]

He seems ok, but I impression had been that most of them still hate us.

[Bender2]

Re: Royal speaking on CSPAN.

I misread your post and switched to CNN to find them showing terrorists how to destroy Boston by blowing up a LPG (Liquefied petroleum gas) tanker...

Way to go, guys! CNN is still French!

[FreeReign]

Good post. Many weary Americans need to hear this sort of anecdotal evidence more than some numbers from a talking head on TV.

Exactly.

[unspun]

So can anyone here explaine what a "French conservative" is?

Anyone have a link to some opus that attempts to tell us what this fellow is all about?

[stephenjohnbanker]

ROTFLOL!!

[La Enchiladita]

Congratulations!
And thank you to the French people who see things “rightly.”
I see, from your profile page, and I have heard there are many native French who remember and love the Americans.
