France: Preferred President (First round)

[Hash]

Not sure which of these joke candidates will get my joke vote.

At this point, I'm probably going to vote for Mélenchon as a half-joke, half-serious vote in the first round and, at the rate things are going with dumb and dumber, probably 'be creative' with the ballots in the runoff.

In the 2nd round I'm not really sure. Both candidates seem intent on destroying the French economy.

This is supposed to be new? All candidates in runoffs since 1974 have been intent on destroying the economy.

ftr, the poll on my blog (58 votes) is more balanced: Sarko and Hollande tied at 24%, Melenchon 17%, Bayrou 15.5%, Marion 10%, Joly 5.2%, Arthaud 3.5%. No love for either NDA, Cheminade or Poutou

Bayrou has no policy per se. Besides "everybody else sucks, but I'm really cool because i'm a real centrist"
