Polls: Sarkozy Elected French President
Breitbart ^ | May 6, 2007 | Not Stated

PARIS (AP) - French voters chose Nicolas Sarkozy as their new president on Sunday, giving the conservative a comfortable margin for victory and a mandate for change, result projections from four polling agencies showed. His Socialist opponent conceded minutes after polls closed.

The agencies said the conservative won 53 percent of the vote amid massive turnout, dashing Socialist Segolene Royal's hopes of being elected France's first woman president. The projections were based on vote counts from representative samples of hundreds of polling stations across the country.

Fox News reporting that Ms. Royal has waved the white surrender flag, which I gather she’s pretty good at.

She’s already conceded.

Waiting for Sarko’s victory speech in about 10 minutes.

Royal warned of violence if she didn’t win (where do we keep hearing that from?)

Seems the Socialist parties, as they did in Mexico, always see violence unless they win. The new campaign slogan of the ‘tolerant’ Socialists? Elect me or else!

Forgive me for asking (and not paying attention to the news), but what is so special about Sarkozy’s victory? Is he going to bring the out-of-control Muzzie piopulation under control?

That’s one of the themes that he campaigned on.

We’ll see if he can succeed. At least he’ll try.

“A pro-US French politician...”

‘Together, everything is possible’.

Nice to hear, for a change.

You and me both - my FAV is Bordeaux, and I've wanted some soooooo badly, but wouldn't support French ANYthing. MAYBE it's time ;-)

SCORE ONE FOR THE GOOD GUYS, AND CELEBRATE!!!

Sarkozy said, in July 2005 [during the riots], that the car torching muslims are vermin that must be wiped away!

Wow! Discusses the US publicly.

Controlled immigration policy.

France is with “women around the world who are beaten, who have to wear the burqa”! Big applause!
