Sakozy Won. French voters considered Nicolas sakozy the winner of yesterday′s TV debate. An opinion poll showed 53 per cent believing that Sakozy was more credible, compared to a mere 31 per cent for Ms Royal. This should increase his already good chances of winning. Before this poll, most international media just concluded that the debate was rather harsh. Several Swedish media, however, pointed out Ms Royal as the winner. Even the news pages of a conservative daily. This probably reflects the political preferences of some reporters more than anything. But it is a pity that the editors allow such personal opinions in the news pages. By the way, I still haven′t seen the debate. If anyone has a web link to where it can be seen, please e-mail it.
