So, Sarko survived the first round of voting, but I'm guessing that's only because the majority of French people did not want to see far-right candidate, Marine Le Pen, advance to the next round. And even though I asked all our friends who voted for Sarko if they planned on voting for him again in the second round (and they all said, 'non'!) I'm predicting that Sarkozy will WIN by a razor thin margin. Know why? Because the conservatives who voted for Le Pen are going to pick the LESSER of TWO evils and that means Sarkozy over Hollande. Unless they decide to do what Americans do when their candidate doesn't win the nomination of the party: stay home on election day.
Le Penn would be a disaster, Sarko is bad, but I suspect Hollande would be far worse then we think ...
ReplyDeleteInteresting. You've got your finger on the pulse of the situation. If the Snarky wins he also saves his marriage. Madame Bruni, a suspected political gold-digger would leave her trophy hubby in a New York minute if he loses.
ReplyDeleteYou know we are going to wake up tomorrow morning and be Greece, right? Sadly, France's glory days are over, whoever wins this evening.
