On his brand new blog, Franz-Olivier Giesbert, the ever-present editor of Le Point, asks the crucial question about centrist presidential nominee, Francois Bayrou:
How will he govern?
Because listening to Bayrou, it'a all bread and roses until you get to that question. He dodges it, answers with a question.... Just like Sarko and Sego, really.
But it's the key question. What exactly IS Francois Bayrou? And a pretty healthy portion of those who make up his poll numbers, will eventually want to know the answer to that question. They're not Le Pen voters. There in this to win, as Hillary Clinton would say.
And there in this because they're allergic to either Sego or Sarko (or both). If he even begins to hint that he'll betray his supporters to join Sarkozy either one of them, as he may be forced to do, the Bayrou bubble will be over, if it isn't over before.
According to reports, the elephants coming back into the fold over at the Socialist Party was in part a clear signal to Bayrou that as embarrassed as they are by their inability to stop Segolene, the old-timers won't become Bayrou supporters so easily.
To all Socialists (as for all Sarkozystes), for now, Bayrou is nothing but trouble. Knives out.
