Can someone explain why the debate is just three days before the election?

Because it's not the US and French voters (or most voters anywhere) don't like election campaigns that last 2 years.

...uh...ok. I didn't mean "Why don't they have debates a year in advance?" I'm curious as to why it isn't a week or two before the election so undecided voters don't have to wait so long.

And you're a fucking asshole. How about you try actually contributing something to a debate at some point, or are you too busy kissing Rick Santorum's ass?

Tradition.


Anyways, just watching Sarko's TV clip, and it's basically a negative spot ! I don't get it. I thought they were banned ? Did Sarko just break the law ? Huh

Nicolas Sarkozy? Breaking the law? Well, i'd never believe that.

It has to be after the first round, elseways they'd have to give Jacques Cheminade equal opportunity to blabber on about UFOs.

I can watch them on my TV, but I don't understand anything but a few numbers or something.

Hollande's just been attacking Sarko "10 year" as a leading politician, as Home Minister and Finance Minister, tying his time at the Finance ministry to the economic problems and the deficit.

My impressions so far:
Hollande's coming across and sincere and nice, but a victim and Sarko's just looked like a bully for the past 40 minutes.

Sarko: "Since 2009, France hasn't known of a recession."

Ah... um, did he just say that?

The interruptions remind me of federal debates here in Canada.

More seriously, I don't see the needle moving. At least not yet.

Sarkozy sometimes looks like he'd jump over to Hollande to try and strangle him.

Interesting that it was the opposite in 2007, with Segolene looking like she wanted to kill Sarko.

WTF, France 24 stopped showing the debate in the middle to move to an analyst, why would you do that? It's like a sports channel turning off a football match in the middle to talk about what happened so far in the match.
