It would be so nice to have the French regain popularity in the U.S. again. I saw a picture of Paris at night...surround kind of pic. It was so beautiful, but all I could think of was how it was wasted on the French. I didn't like the fact that I thought that.

It's nice to know that France MAY be turning around.

Hell about to freeze over. A (somewhat) pro-american leader in France.

This could be the tipping point that will turn around European Liberalism not only in France but many other states. Let us hope.

Here’s hoping it is a trend, here as well. I think that the Liberals and Muslims have overplayed their hands and the center voters are starting to see the light...

I meant swing voters.

I confused Royal with Kerry...

They actually have a lot in common...

That’s not the result of the debate that the NPR lady quoted yesterday....

She reported that the french were impressed with how “strong” Royal sounded, but did sort of admit Sarkozy had better facts and figures - does that sound familiar?

Do you think she heard of different debate? /sarc

"...the french were impressed with how “strong” Royal sounded

That was probably the seen as "more Dynamic" +9, part of the poll.

She probably just raised her voice in the debate - "Mon Dieu, what strength in the woman!" bleats the frenchie left.
