Well Sarko was up by about six points before the debate, and the vote is on Sunday. To win this, Sego needs to swing a huge number of moderates of whom she spent much of the first round slagging off.
I've been curious since there has been more coverage than I'm used to seeing for a Non-USAian race, but it all seems to focus on the fact that Royal is (gasp) female. There hasn't been much on whether she could win the run-off or what would happen if she did.
Well then, if it goes as you say and Sarkozy wins, what does that mean for France?
Tough to say, really. The right wing candidates seem to have a tendency to come in all fire-and-brimstone, but then moderate themselves when in office (see: Chirac).
If Sarko goes the same way, well, expect more of the same. There are also worries though, that he'll be more extreme when in office. If that happens, expect to see France become, if not more USian, at least more British-styled.
