Yes, and this will help the UMP make the case to those right-wing voters vacillating between Sarkozy and LePen to "votez utile," so to speak. It'll also help, from their point of view, prevent a late break of some votes from Sarko to Villiers or Nihous. My point was only that both sides fear a dispersion of even a couple % points. Sarkozy knows that if he doesn't finish first and close to 30, he's going to be coming in below expectations.
