#2 Does de Vulpin (who is s man) help or hurt? Obviously, he's not popular here, but that's irrelevant. Is he popular in France. As PM, did the car-B-cues get tied to him?

#3 Jeez, still here? I was sure he had undergone a sex change operation and now dances at the Moulin Rouge under the name "Dominique".

#5 remember as much as we think all politics everywhere revolves around the US, it doesnt. De Villepins aggressive for policy was IN PART, at least, tied to French business interests. The same French business interests that want to sell whatever they can to Iraq, Iran, etc are also not too thrilled with Socialist calls for things like shorter work weeks, or Socialist opposition to cutting the French welfare state.

#8 One simply must smooth the artificial tan down the neck to below the collar line, or it looks fake!

On to more important things: the honourable prime minister must be very concerned about a Socialist win to throw in with his arch-rival for Chiraq's favour.
