Yes, but in retrospect it could have been expected. The French voted as always for what they perceived as being in THEIR own best interests, even though it was short-shorted to say the least. They won't give up their percs, their playtoys, and all they really need is another Corsican to lead them.:)
Also, I enjoyed your reviews of Star Wars Episode 3 on The Sith Order. Interesting comments about the real 'honor' of the Jedi, and the Republic vs. the Empire.
