FRANCE: Looking beyond Sarkozy
The incumbent president sounds more resigned to be ousted in the elections than ever. Sarkozy encouraged the French people to vote against him by promising to abandon politics altogether in case he'll lose the election.
Over the weekend Sarkozy was desperate enough to trumpet the extremist right message, "enough foreigners in France!" The lamenting over the deluge of... undesirable immigration comes at the heels of his presidency that has opened the floodgates to Africans invading Europe, hence it is rather hollow and late. Sarkozy's calculation to drain support from the Front National will not work. Instead he will lose people appalled by this attempt to lure extremists to vote for him to his foe Hollande.
In this race of two pathetic candidates I cannot fathom why French voters don't swarm the only decent candidate in this race: François Bayrou.See More
