The first polls show that Sarkozy will get 60% of MLP’s vote. That will probably increase, especially if she can shut her father up.
Results of googling ‘French election” is depressing. All the coverage is from the world’s left wing papers, i.e., the Guardian, NYT, Huffington, and all writing as if Sarkozy got 5% of the vote ... a defeat, most unpopular, blah blah blah.
