Would the Obama administration be loosing a key ally here? I imagine that Obama's views are closer to those of Sarkozy than Hollande.

And it's not only the parts of North-East that are doomed by unemployment or which have an 'awful big city full of Arab scums' like Strasbourg who are touched by a very high Le Pen, I don't know precisely usual votting patterns in the 'neat peaceful and so flowered calm Haut-Rhin' but this still seems huge to me:

N. Sarkozy : 31,91%
M. Le Pen : 23,43%
F. Hollande : 18,89%
F. Bayrou : 11,39%
J-L. Mélenchon : 7,42%
E. Joly : 2,71%
N. Dupont-Aignan : 2,10%
P. Poutou : 1,19%
N. Arthaud : 0,64%
J. Cheminade : 0,33%

NDA victorious in his hometown by a whisker! Unfortunately for him, no luck in any of the other 37,000 communes.

36.000 communes please. And this is big enough, trying to reduce it seems to be an hard enough thing that govts regularly try that you better don't add some more...

It's funny that they keep around some communes that no one lives in any more.

Ah well, yeah, you can find some with about 15 people here and there...

There are those too, in addition to the ones that literally have no one.

Which one did Sarkozy win?

Mayotte. It only became a department a year ago.
