Instead of Sarkozy and Royal "duking it out" on French national TV in the upcoming debate where (presumably) all of the questions and responses have been carefully rehearsed, the candidates should go LIVE before these blog authors and their readers. Neither of the two, Sarkozy or Royal, would emerge from such an encounter as a clear winner and the people of France and the Francophone world may be better informed about which of the two can best lead France for the next 5-10 years. Viva la France! Good luck. Whoa, excellent roundup on the French elections Jen.

Are they really committed to what they claim or are they just trying to please their voting segments? Do candidates knowadays really believe in anything or are they just mouthpieces satisfying different interests and coupling these interests with personal ambition and gain?
