Sarkozy, who, ValentinB notwithstanding, has done all he could to help the NPA (Nouveau Parti Anticapitaliste) get started, because he ses it as an easier adversary to beat in 2012.

Sarkozy is welcome to do so. It may well backfire on him. Besancenot is no Le Pen.

Le Pen had decades to learn, but he is inherently repellant. Not so with the red mailman. Or did I miss an era where Le Pen was polling approvingly with a large percentage of the population?
