Royal was surprisingly strong in Brittany and overseas despite losing.

I still hate the French but I guess I can agree with them/applaud them for something.  Tongue

I never have rooted against the French, which is why I am happy they voted to be relevant once more and show some backbone.  It is strange France and Germany are allies now, whereas Italy and Spain not so much.

This result is what I expected, unlike the first round (where I predicted Le Pen to beat Bayrou for third place Tongue). Check out this hilariously biased AP article. One of many gems within:

The 52-year-old former interior minister inherits a nation losing faith in itself, paralyzed by worries over globalization, bitter at American dominance and saddled with social tensions.

Here’s what Sarah Palin represents: being a fat fucking pig who pins “Country First” buttons on his man titties and chants “U-S-A! U-S-A!” at the top of his lungs while his kids live off credit cards and Saudis buy up all the mortgages in Kansas.

Wow, thank you AP and CBS News for making yourselves look completely foolish. Half the article was just talking about how pro-American Sarkozy is and the other half talked about the "Arab and African immigrants" and all that rubbish. Now I know why I get most of my news from foreigners.

Based on final predictions and unofficial results

Tobias Beecher was first.

Sam Spade was second.

Phil and I shared third place.

Gustaf  and Lewis shared fourth.

Gabu was fifth.

Sarkozy was sixth.

Tender Branson was seventh.

Bacon King was eighth.

Couldn't find predictions for Umengus or Dave.

Everyone correctly predicted the winner, and most predictions were acceptably close to actual results.

What encouraging words he offered, let's hope France can come together and we can all work together to mend the mess the last 40 years has been.

Hear, hear. I look forward to a France that will be a real ally. I'll still dislike the French though with the exception of Sarkozy because he's just awesome.  Tongue

No credit to the 53.1% who carried him?

I knew that was coming. The answer is still no. I guess I can applaud them for some of their political positions but I just have an overall extreme distaste for the French. Their arrogance and rather snobby and rude behavior makes me physically ill but that's not the point here. They did a good job yesterday.
