Socialist candidate Francois Hollande is expected to win the French presidential election despite a last minute increase in support for president Nicholas Sarkozy.


France begins voting later today in the second and final round of the presidential election.


Hollande spent Saturday in Toulouse telling voters he was nervous about the election and "anxious for victory".


The Socialist candidate is tipped to win despite Sarkozy closing the gap between them to four points.


Hollande has appealed to French voters tired of tough austerity measures.


He has argued for a greater emphasis on growth.


A win by Hollande will give the country its first Socialist president in two decades.


Sarkozy has been increasingly unpopular among voters and earned a reputation of being a president for the wealthy.

Looks like I was correct.

Isn't the so-called "conservative" in America's upcoming presidential election talking about drastic cuts while refusing to raise taxes?

Hmmm...

So in France the Conservative is viewed as the "president for the wealthy"?

That's just so hard to believe...voters view the conservative as only out for the rich...crazy talk.

LOL.

I wonder how many people who think they are "conservative" change their minds when they experience austerity while taxes on the rich are cut again?
