Please, all we ask is that you seem at least a little surprised for the cameras. You know, some sort of consternated look to justify all those hand-wringing headlines that despaired of calling the vote before the ballot.
Ah, those undecided Frenchies (and here and here and below) finally decided to vote the favorites.
M. Bayrou's complaints about the open practice of lepeniste adjustments to poll numbers in the run-up was well-founded. He should demand his money back. Oh, but all he is entitled to is a shrug from the pundits.
22 avr 2007 (TNS-Sofres/Unilog) - D'après notre estimation TNS Sofres-Unilog réalisée pour TF1, RTL et Le Monde, Nicolas Sarkozy (30,5%) et Ségolène Royal (25,7%) sont les deux candidats qui se retrouveront face-à-face au second tour le 6 mai prochain.
The abstention rate is estimated at 15.2%, the lowest abstention number in any election of the Ve Republic.
Dominique Voynet (1.5%) punks out here and throws in with Ségo. [Please, act surprised.]
François Bayrou (18.5%) punks out here. No pass-off. [Please, wrinkle the nose a little to show concern for the directionless Bayrouistes.]
Jean-Marie Le Pen (11%) punks out here.
Arlette Laguiller (1.4%) punks out here. Throws in with Ségo. [Please, act surprised.]
Olivier Besancenot (4.3%) punks out here. Calls on fellow Communists to "fight the Right". We guess that means vote for Ségo.
Philippe de Villiers (2.4%) punks out here. Nada for Sarko.
Frédéric Nihous (1.1%) guards the all important fishermen's vote here ( « J'attends les propositions des deux candidats finalistes » ).
