A couple more hours until this election is finished. And then in a couple of days Chirac will get the boot, Sego will get the finger, and France with its new leader will get the thumbs up. Let’s hope that Sarkozy’s momentum carries through to the next set of elections in June.
From an article on Yahoo:
“By noon, turnout was over 34 percent, the highest midday rate in 33 years, the Interior Ministry said.”
I read this as good for Sarkozy. I was afraid that with the rather healthy lead he had, people would become complacent, or listen to the “don’t vote for any of those bums” message of the minor parties. With a strong turnout, that is less likely to be happening.
