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".)

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.
