#3 The only problem, 'moose, is that "right-wing" over there means something very different from over here. Remember last election, Jospin failed to make the run-off, so the voters had the choice between ChIraq and La Pen. Like Looziana some 15 years ago with the contest between Edwards and David Duke: "Vote for the crook. It's important." |

#2 I hope these folks split the socialists right down the middle, or even take away the majority of their voters. The would make them a de jure party, holding many seats, but with no voters to back them up vs. a de facto socialist party will most of the voters but no seats. This would almost invariably result in the French *right wing* picking up seats. |

#1 How socialist - fire the guy who represents what the people overwhemingly want - instead of what "they" thought was good for them. |
