France's Royal seeks presidency (Jospin has dropped out)
The French politician Segolene Royal has officially entered the race to become her country's next president.

Declaring her candidacy for the nomination of the opposition Socialist Party, she vowed to bring real change.
...
The latest opinion poll suggests that Ms Royal is ahead of any of her potential rivals by at least 30 percentage points.
...
Our correspondent says Ms Royal's position seems to have been strengthened by the decision of the failed candidate during the 2002 poll, Lionel Jospin, not to stand again.

4. How do parties pick a nominee in France?
Primaries are pretty unique to the US.
