Will Democrats be urging us to run things by France now?

This event is akin to NYC becoming a Red Zone. Dems must be in disbelief. Especially Nancy Pelosi and Ted Kennedy.

Oh, to have the same results here. Wait, we did have an historical majority and we got pork city and corruption. *sighing, shaking head, sadly *

I think the libs are in shock. Being an optimist, I believe that the tide is turning against the Socialist appeasers.

Holland and Sweden, now France are electing Conservative, or at least, more Conservative governments.

I certainly hope the trend continues in 2008 here in the US.

Far from retiring from the fray after her defeat, Royal continues to present herself as the party's best hope for the future and has indicated she will run for the post of First Secretary at a congress due next year at the latest.

The post has been held for the last 10 years by her partner Francois Hollande, who has been heavily criticised for his handling of the presidential campaign.

That would certainly be an interesting fight. Could put a crimp in their relationship.

It must have been vote fraud. No one votes against Progressives. How did Karl Rove engineer this one?

Child's play for a man who can manufacture a hurricaine.

Akin to when a liberal having been mugged converts to conservatism...there’s nothing more compelling to the French in this same regard than the smell of 5,000 burning Peugeot to cause the revival of common sense.

Once France's biggest political party, the Communists scored less than two percent in the presidential election and the party is close to bankruptcy.

If the American people would wise up, the equivalent party in the U.S., aka the democratic party, would also be sent on its merry way to the graveyard.
