Europe's leaders eye Sarkozy partnership
Nicolas Sarkozy may still have work to do to win the French presidency but he has already secured the unspoken support of Berlin, Brussels and London.

Since when is Gordon Brown a European leader? And having the endorsement of Barroso and Blair/Brown should be enough to make Sarkozy very scary.

European Leaders are just Germany, France and the UK. No mention of Spain (Zapatero would readily partner with Royal) or Italy (Prodi's Margherita is already a partner of Bayrou's [former] UDF in the European Democratic Party).

Bush is a symptom, not the disease.

Brown is already a leader because he's been polite to Bush - unlike that shrieky Royal harpy who'd be less than polite. And is not only French, but a woman too.

As for the rest - 'outward looking' means 'towards the US', of course.

Royal seems less likely to submit to Bush's advances than Merkel, who is therefore more leaderlike.
