Can't believe people are getting excited that France's idea of a "right wing" politican is winning. So what? France's CURRENT president is from their "right-wing" party. The same party that nominated Jac Chirac nominated this guy. The only reason they DIDN'T nominate Chirac again is he didn't announce his candidacy because knows he'd lose a third term. Here's the new guy:
"I am not a conservative. I do not want an immobile France. I want innovation, creativity, the struggle against injustices."
Oh yeah, this guy is our buddy.
Sarko vs. Royale is simply left-wing vs. far-left wing. Another "victory" like when gay-marrage luvin' Gavin Newsom became Mayor of San Francisco instead of the Green Party guy.
The good things about Sarkozy is that he will moderately cut some taxes and really hammer down on law and order issues.
Other than that, do not expect a French Reagan.
