#1 No mention that Marine is also tapping into a very deep pool of resentment among French women about how elitist men mistreat them. This is bound up with resentment against the elites of both parties in general, but it has never been given strong play before.

#2 who, like Dominique deVillepin, is a man...

For certain values of 'man' somewhat less than used elsewhere.

#4 If Marine should win could we expect the same reaction from the EU as was seen in Austria a few years ago when Hader(?) won?

Somehow I think this could turn out to be very bad for the EU; maybe good for the world?
