French Presidential Candidates

Election tomorrow in France and here is a description of the expected winner:

His friends say charm and amiability are at the center of Hollande’s character.  His political enemies argue he is an eternal maneuverer, more calculating than courageous.

The center of his "character" are "charm and amiability"?  How far character has fallen.

This comment is extracted from the blog ¡No Pasarán!, found here.  The post title is "Pinning Down the Master of Evasion, French Socialist François Hollande".  There is a part where three times a reporter tries to pin down the candidate on immigration.  Finally, the candidate explains:

"I’m not a commentator on public life,” Hollande replied.  “I am the next president of France."

One wonders what his plans are for governing.  It reminds me of … so much.

Good luck to Mr Sarkozy, who not only knows what he thinks, but even sometimes expresses it, even if he is a Gaullist.
