I think the French are going to elect the socialist unmarried mom.

Chirac resisted calls to dismiss M de Villepin over his handling of an investigation into a campaign against Nicolas Sarkozy, the Interior Minister and arch enemy of both men.

Heh... "arch enemy", a little too dramatic I think. :')
