Looks like Sarkozy's gonna win

Latest reports have UMP supporters ready to celebrate.

More at 20:00, when first estimates will come in. Looks like 7-8 point spread. Also, looks like more than 80% turnout. That's fuckin crazy. Maybe if we got rid of the electoral college we'd have some higher participation too.

Pretty close election, but in the end, I think everyone knew this was coming. Time to see what the backlash is... (Personally, I think it'll be quite limited, but living in Aix, that kind of impression could be from a quite limited scope.) Looks like the centrist vote broke hard right.

We'll have more solid numbers in not too long.
