What will be _____'s best department in the first French election round?

[Antonio the Sixth]

Macron: Huh, good question. A lot will depend on how much of his electorate is the old PS one as opposed to the hip centrist one. I'm going to guess Paris, but it might as well be one of the overseas departments.

Le Pen: Probably Vaucluse. Possibly Pas-de-Calais, if things really get bleak.

Mélenchon: Seine-Saint-Denis.

Fillon: Nouvelle-Calédonie.

Hamon: Huh, maybe Finistère?

For the Trot ones, you might as well flip a coin, since they'll won't poll above 2% anywhere.

Dupont-Aignan and Lassalle will definitely do best in their respective home turfs.

Hamon: Gars

You mean Gard? I'm pretty sure Panzergirl will win there.

yea, that, it seems like a socialist stronghold, and with Macron taking the Paris, Middle-Class liberal vote, socialist strongholds, especially in the SW, which doesn't have a very high FN vote, have the highest Hamon vote?

It's not a Socialist stronghold by any stretch (Flamby came in third there in 2012) and culturally it's far more Southeastern than Southwestern. If you're thinking of Southwestern lefty strongholds, Ariège and Hautes-Pyrénées are much better examples.

Dupont-Aignan: Vendee (duh)

Wrong.

Yeah, Sarthe is far too boboish these days to be Fillon's best Department. It might be in the top 10, but no more than that.
