Royal attacks Sarkozy on the increase of violence during his time as Interior minister, Sarkozy conters with blaming Royal's Socialist predecessors for the increase.

Sarkozy talks how to deal with sexual predators and juvenile criminals. Royal gives "rape example."

Royal talks about her plans to speed up France's economic growth, benefits for small companies, reduction of the debt, Sarkozy accuses her of being superficial and she should talk so that "the French people are able to follow her talk". Sarkozy wants to strengthen the image of "work", critisizes the 35-hour-week.

I just tuned in and it seems pretty heated.  Smiley

Royal really is quite patronizing.

Royal is pretty busy to bridge the Nuclear-Alternative-Discussion, because she looks for the votes of the far-left and Greens which hate Nuclear energy. Therefor Sarkozy is now aggresively lobbying for the nuclear industry Tongue

I love that Royal even realizes that she is recognized as a condescending b---h as she tells Sarko, "Stop playing the victim. No, I'm not being condescending"...in a condescending way.   Tongue

Ah, poor Segolene, getting all worked up.

"No, I will not calm down."

Remember that line, folks. Madame Royal just lost the election. It's over.

And she keeps saying, "I didn't lose my cool" over and over again even as the debate moved on. "I'm just angry." I love it! Sarko - winner.

It's over. The woman just had an emotional breakdown and won't move on. She lost the election with that outburst.

She just dug her tomb with this debate. Her flip was so good. "When I'll be president of the republic" sarkozy answers "that will be fun"

Anyone else who can give opinions on the outcome? I only saw some excerpts of it. Swedish media which is extremely partisan called it as a Royal victory but they're about as clueless as always.

WeŽll have to watch the next polls, but I still believe Sarkozy will win with between 53-55% on Sunday.

Royal was very "agressive" and Sarkozy was very "wise", "zen". People waited the opposite. Hence, suprise is the dominant feeling.

the last "emotional breakdown" in the end of the debate was superficial because it's just not the reality.

Opinion way poll (well, not the best: a scientif web poll, for the figaro, conservative newspaper)

wich candidate was the most convincing?
Sarkozy: 53%
Royal: 31%
none of both: 15%

I was so happy I got to part of the debate!

The first round results on 4/22 weren't even mentioned on the NBC Evening News, but they did broadcast the debate on CSPAN yesterday.

I hate Sarkozy's personality, so I will never say anything positive about him. But I didn't like some of Segolene's responses, she was too vague and that line about putting more people on unemployment benefits? What the hell? The idea is to get people jobs! Pauvre Segolene, j'adore elle.

Final Round:

Sarkozy  53
Royal      47
