Bush congratulates Sarkozy on election victory
2007-05-07
US President George W. Bush called Nicolas Sarkozy to congratulated him for his victory in the French presidential election Sunday. "The United States and France are historic allies and partners," Gordon Johndroe, spokesman for the White House's National Security Council, said in a statement after Sarkozy's opponent Segolene Royal conceded defeat. "President Bush looks forward to working with President-elect Sarkozy as we continue our strong alliance."
Here's a regional map of the vote.

#6  Congrats Sarko ! Hell, that map looks like a plot of Kallefornia. Communist south vs. republican north with a holdout area around the Bay area, home base for Pelosi, Tauscher, et al.

#5  SM is right they don't have to lift a finger to help us, just stop fighting us at every turn. I think the many cars torched last summer spelled doom for the Liberal Wing.

#1  Honestly, I have a good feeling about this. The French don't have to help us, even; not freaking fighting us for the sport of it all the time would be a nice change of pace!
