1. Whatever sinks Sarkozy is fine with me. Whether is is the economy or the crazy right-wing ideas

that he has been peddling to attract the far-right vote in this first round of the election.

It will be interesting to see how much he tracks to the center in the second round when he thinks the far-right voters have no alternative but to vote for him.
