Moments ago the MSM media reported pro-American center-right candidate Sarkozy had smashed Socialist candidate Royal 53%-47%. Sarkozy’s first public comments were straight to the United States: that we "can count on France as a friend". Cheers.
The humorous aspect to this French election, and our election in November, is that the Sarkozy won by promising the French a closer relationship with the United States, a tougher crackdown on terrorism, and a more free economic system, while the Democrats took control of Congress by promising a closer relationship with Socialist France, a policy of retreat on terrorism and the war, and a less free economic system.
Many Hollywood stars over the past several years have mentioned that they’d like to move to (Socialist) France. Looks like it would be easier to just stay home.

Sarkozy also opposes the US policy in Iraq.

How fitting that the son of an immigrant from Hungary, part of “New
Europe”, would ride to the rescue in the capital of “Old Europe.”
Sarkozy should be the right leader at the right time. His unabashed
conservatism and courage are qualities our own GOP leaders should
emulate.
Somewhere, George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette are
celebrating the return of Franco-American friendship.
