French Presidential Election; 2nd round thread

[Gabu]

With but a week to go, it seems to me to be time to being predictions.

Mine is:

Sakorzy 51.5
Royal     48.5

Oh, the latest poll from ISPOS has it 53/47 Sarkozy/Royal (survey of 1219 respondents for period 4/24-26).

I suspect the turnout will be down from the first round.

Sounds good.
Just to be different I'll predict Sarkozy 51.6.

Well then, I predict Sarkozy 51.4, to ensure that he won't get the closest prediction.

I heard that Royal is doing well amongst male voters while women are supporting Sarkozy. I find this odd, does anyone have any info?

She's hot by the standards of politicians; need we say more?

I still hate the French but I guess I can agree with them/applaud them for something. 

It's all right to hate the French, because no matter who you are, you can rest assured that they hate you too.

Gabu was fifth.

Mine wasn't exactly a serious prediction.

I can safely say that everyone within that topic is retarded.

This is pretty interesting, I like how they have all the detail of French voting abroad.
That's the page for the Houston Consulate, showing the results in Dallas, Houston and Austin. But there you can download the PDF files for the entire USA results and the entire world, country by country.

It is interesting to see how the vote also resembled the U.S. voting patterns: Sarkozy did better in Texas and Florida and worse in San Francisco and Boston.
Sarkozy won in Mexico also   and got 90% of the votes in Israel!

Wait, there are French people in Texas?

get mah guns, cletus

Well, since we want to be arrogant about this, I'll keep this going.

I never said I never met French people. Since you want to make this into me not being worldly enough, I'll let you know that I have dealt with the French in their own country. I've been to Europe twice which, for someone my age, is quite a privilege. On the way to Italy last year, my group had to make a stop in Paris. We were met with the typical rude French behavior and while my personal experience wasn't as nasty, I had others who accompanied me on the trip tell me how they were angry with the attitude that they were given.

So I wouldn't start telling me how I've never met anyone who happened to be French or insinuate that I'm clearly not worldly enough to engage in such a discussion.

From what I know of Paris, judging all French people based on Paris is like judging all Canadians based on Montreal.

I hereby revoke every churlish remark I've ever made about those lovely Gallic people.

I'm not entirely sure how to respond to the idea that the French voted for Sarkozy because he's pro-American.

[Gabu]

That's immaterial.  I just thought it was nice Ann Coulter was less bigoted against the French than some people.

Well yes, I do have to say that I am quite surprised that Ann Coulter seems to be okay with admitting a perceived error.  That makes her better in that respect than a lot of people I can think of.
