Errrr....best of luck to him.

It's somewhat amusing to see American Republicans cheer on someone who openly supports Obama.

The weighting is now diminishing each week as follows: 1 / 0.5

Le Pen   15,31
Bayrou   10,86
Mélenchon   13,54

Dupont-Aignan   0,98
Arthaud   0,66

Will Sarkozy get a poll boost from winning the first round?

He got a slight boost in 2007 IIRC.

Chirac to vote for Hollande....

I predicted a 51.5% to 48.5% win for Hollande back in January....I think I'm sticking by that.

I don't think I could hate a Tory as much a Dan Hannan. And I don't think any are that deluded.

I actually think he's an asset to the Left. I mean, he's openly critical of the NHS.

Why introduce that lunatic?

Comic Relief.

Who would win in a hypothetical second round between Mélenchon and Le Pen?

The Daily Hate Mail continues to be a parody of itself.

Wow, given that this thread has derailed into the worst thread on this forum, I'm happy this stupid election is going to be over soon and we'll all be able to go back to our regular activities. Phew.

I think it was done on the sole intention of pissing off Al.

Sarkozy will be re-elected.

So I can have some bragging rights too if that still-unlikely scenario occurs.

I really hope Hollande doesn't turn out to be the PS's answer to Neil Kinnock....
