The Final US Election Thread

[Louis VI the Fat]

I must repeat what I asked Vladimir about that French army blog. How on earth did you come by this?
Are you all reading French blogs nowadays?

Sarkozy may desperately wish he was American, but even he realises that a president using an English slogan has the political life span of a US senator admitting he's been having a homosexual affair with Hugo Chavez. Or of an Arkansas governor who's been photographed with the works of Darwin. Or of a British PM who uses anti-terror laws to intimidate his parliamentary opposition. (Wait...not the last one. )

These 'Sarkobama' posters, as they have been dubbed, aren't official. They are quite the mystery!

They suddenly appeared all over Paris last week. Nobody has claimed them. The UMP was suspected at first, I myself suspect the Communist Party, both deny.
The slogans are leftist, environmentalist: 'Producing a clean ecological source of energy? Yes we can!', 'Create one million jobs? Yes we can!'
It is clearly a well-prepared and expensive campaign, not the work of a few students. Nobody has yet claimed responsibility. Does this mean there are more surprises in store then? Oh, the suspense of it all!!
