Re: French Presidential Candidates (4.00 / 2)

I'd probably go for Bové/Voynet in the first round and Royal/Bayrou in the second.

Re: French Presidential Candidates (4.00 / 2)

Do you think that Bayrou will be in the second round? In this environment, it seems that would likely make him the next President. But, it seemed to me from what I was seeing that he was in a strong third place -- yet third place. Has this changed? (While aware, not watching "closely".)

Re: French Presidential Candidates (4.00 / 2)

Bayrou's rise in the opinion polls seems to have slowed if not peaked. (But it's very much a matter of personal belief, and others may say he's about to leap ahead again).

So he's currently, as you say, a strong third, with a definite chance of getting into the run-off, where he would be the "lesser evil" for the right if he were against Royal, or for the left if he were against Sarkozy.
