French Socialist Party leadership race, 2008

[Math]

Stupidity always makes me laugh.

Go Ségolène, go ! Our French Sarah Palin...

[Math]

They just try to drop the expectation. If Aubry wins, it will be seen as a complete reversal of the situation.
Sure, it is not very subtle...

If Hamon won 59% in Hell on Earth and did well in the Lyon 'burbs (Venissieux presumably), he seems to be popular in industrial and 'popular' areas.

Which area is "Hell on Earth" [qm]

Saint-Nazaire, I would guess.

Oh, the shipbuilding town.

A very ugly city. Very ugly.

There is no pattern here. He didn't very well in Brest or Le Havre.

[Math]

I mean people are referring to Royale on this site as a 'drug addict' and other unflattering names.

Why is she so despised?

Because she is Royal.

Claude Bartolone said Aubry leads by 42 votes, or 0,04%...

The "official" results

The Excel file

But it doesn't count Nouvelle-Calédonie and Polynésie. And according to the website of the local socialist section, the first one voted heavily for Royal...

Ségolène Royal : 81,25%
Martine Aubry : 18,75 %

[Math]

After a slight correction in Moselle, Aubry leads now by only 18 votes. Jean-Marc Todeschini, Senator from Moselle, "has a spitting headache".

[Math]

According to rue89.com, the results in New Caledonia are 13 votes for Royal, 3 votes for Aubry.

There were also some calls for Royal and Aubry to be co-first secretaries (as if things weren't going quite well enough for Sarkozy).

I hope they will run as a ticket in 2012, like Deferre/PMF in 1969. The primary will only determine who will be the head of the ticket, and I will vote for Ségolène. It will be crazy !
