UPDATE:
- French Republican Nicolas Sarkozy: 53,06%
—
If you have speculated on one of the candidates, you may want to know the result before the first quasi-official media reports (8:00 PM, Paris time). French laws prevent the French bloggers and media to report the first estimates before this time.
- The site to visit is the French-speaking, Swiss National Radio/TV: Television Suisse Romande. The French-speaking Belgium media also report on the French election.
- Sarkozy 54% — Royal 46% — 6:43 PM, Paris time
UPDATE: I think I owe the French government 75,000 euros, now. That’s the fine for disclosing info before 8:00 PM.
UPDATE #2: – Sarkozy 53% — Royal 47% — 8:19 PM, Paris time
Vive Sarkozy!
Now let’s watch him Thatcherize France.
Exactly. First, he’ll suppress this fucking 35-hour-a-week law. Let’s put the French people to work.
COUNT ME as very excited by Nicholas Sarkozy’s victory in the French Presidential election. I’ve been cheering him for a few years now.

French President-Elect Nicolas Sarkozy (R) to Bo Cowgill (R) and all the other Yankees (Rs & Ds): YOU ARE MY FRIENDS.

Sarkozy – 1/3 Gaullist; 1/3 Bonapartist; 1/3 Neo-Con.
He will make the French more hated on the world stage than they already are!
It should also not be forgotten that as economics minister, he called for “economic patriotism” and arranged for a state rescue of Alstom.
He’s not a neo-con.
Alstom: True. He’ll do the same for Airbus, he said. I dislike that.
