is to the right of Sarkozy?

Have Keyboard. Will Travel. :)

He captured the soft Le Pen vote (5%) but not that hard Le Pen vote (11-12%).  What kind of gymnastics would he have to do to capture them now?  It will be more important for him to reach out to Bayrou's voters, those voters who are must put-off by Sarkozy's right-wing leaning.  

Based on the speech I'm watching I'd say Sarozy will spend the next two weeks "acting Presidential" but fortunately I doubt he can keep the act up for two solid weeks.

Also, his backdrop looks like an ad for mood-disorder pharmaceuticals.

The French guest expert at the German TV channel "Phoenix" is just a tiny bit skeptical. Saying that in the election till today, Sarkozy (obviously) successfully went after potential Le Pen voters. And that he now really needs to recalibrate his campaign and go for the center while not losing the right. Mind you, he doesn´t say that this is impossible. He´s just saying that this will require some really fancy foot-work.
