#2 The frogs are irrelevant, but I hope they choose Sarkozy anyway.

#3 Really? Wait until US pilots have to fight chinese ones flying French designed aircraft instead of Chinese crap.

So curing France of moonbatism can make a lot of differnce.

#4 A serious and sober France would much more helpful... or at least less harmful, than the current Chiraq-led one. Even a France turned inward as she addresses her own problems would be better for the world than the dangerous games she now plays. My prayer for France is that Sarkozy is as good as his brave words.

#5 I'm hoping for the Segosaurus, so the U.K. gets all the useful French, and the world sees that Socialism kills.

#7 I have a bad feeling that Sarko is Chirac fils.

#8 About 25% voted for the extreme right and left.
20% for the center.

My bet would be Sarkozy but he'll have to convince enough of the far right, and left and center to win. It's going to be a tough job.
In the EU I don't know if the "patriotic" card still works.

#9 You are wrong. Chirac flirted with the Communist Party when he was young. while Sarkozy has never forgotten his family had to flee communism in order to survive.

Chirac is a pathological anti-american (1) and veiled anti-semitic, Sarkozy is both America and Israel friendly.

Chira
Chirac has ever been an obssessive womanizer (and a brothel patron before success in politics brought success with women). After meeting Cecilia, his wife, Sarkozy seems to have been a one-woman man and that despite her having an affair (Seems Chirac/Villepin managed for her getting a report from police/secret services telling that Sarkozy was cheating her. It was untrue)

Finally Chirac hates Sarkozy for siding with Balladur in 1995 (and for an a affair with his daughter) and has tried to kill him politically. Sarkozy loathes and despises Chirac.

(1) I suspect that during his stay in America when he was twenty he tried to seduce/have sex with an American girl and was laughed upon. I suspect his male vanity is one of the rteasons of his hate for America.

#10 Forgot to say that Chirac is a pure product of France's civil service and ever been a statist (except for a short time during the Reagan revolution) while Srakozy

#11 I despise France, so I hope Royal wins. If anyone can run that country into the ground, she can.

I don't despise France, but I DO despise the French Government/Civil Service, and 2/3 of the residents of Paris and its environs. A volcano popping up in the center of Paris would destroy a lot of nice buildings, art, etc., but would cause me no distress at all. All French socialists should die from a horribly painful disease. Chirac should have to swan-dive into a glass of water from the top of the Eifel Tower, wrapped in 200lb of lead. Hanging's too good for him. All French politicians should have to spend two weeks at Fort Erwin during a "field problem" - in the summertime. Book 'em into the local Motel 6, and have the air conditioning break down. The survivors get to go home.
