Sum of 6 left-of-PS candidates (Greens, Communists, Bové, Trots): 11.05%
Sum of 3 right-of-Sarko candidates: 15.66%

One would really hope that half of Le Pen's voters go home or vote Ségo...

Le Pen's voters as part of the right like the "rest of the left" can be counted in the left. It really does not behave the same way.

So a core of Le Pen's voters will swing the coalition to the Left and a victory for Sego?

That's going to be fun to watch. :)

are to a large extent disinfranchised blue collar voters. if they feel that Royal is listening to them, it's not absurd to see some of them coming back into the fold (Le Pen is strongest where the communist party used to be strong).

I.e., working-class authoritarians. The middle-class authoritarians are already voting for Sarkozy.

Small improvements, but the significant numbers (Sarko 30+, Royal 25-) won't improve much, unless the partial count is unrepresentative. 89.89% counted:

Sarko 30.46%
Royal 24.81%
Bayrou 18.31%
Le Pen 11.32%
Besancenot 4.37%

Non-mainstream to the left and right: 11.09%:15.33%

That 89% must have been a typo, it must have been 69%! New results at 75.39% give some more hope, show Royal above 25%, Le Pen and other far-right loses steadily:

Sarko 30.50%
Royal 25.05%
Bayrou 18.34%
Le Pen 11.20%
Besancenot 4.35%

Non-mainstream to the left and right: 11.05%:15.07% (where I note in concert with Jérôme that Sarko can count much less on either the Le Pen or the Villiers vote than Royal can on any of the hared-to-far-left candidates')

...however, the first second-round poll says that 75% of Le Pen voters will go for Sarko. Bayrou's voters still divide evenly.

If the centrists really return to Ségo, NOW it's on the far-left to stop Sarko, it seems. But with the above numbers, it's not enough, they would just cancel out 75% of the Le Pen+Villiers+Nihous vote.

I still expect Sarko to win the presidency, but hope dies last. As many others pointed out, it will be about the center (Bayrou) voters in the next two weeks. If FN voters stay at home, it could still become a very, very tight race.
