WIN Francois Hollande, WIN!

France is headed to the polls Sunday, and Francois Hollande is likely to move forward to a May 6 head to head vote against Sarkozy, unless he can win 50% majority and defeat Sarkozy on Sunday in a field of 10.

If he beats Sarkozy on Sunday, even if he must fight to win on May 6, it will mark an important referendum on conservative dogma that has spread since Ronald Reagan / Margaret Thatcher.

"And even some right-wing governments in Europe are discovering the dangers of the Berlin-imposed, all-austerity approach to the euro and sovereign debt crisis." - UK Independent

"Hollande threw down another gauntlet to the Germans and the ECB. The Frankfurt central bank, he said, should help fix the euro crisis by lending directly to eurozone governments rather than supplying cheap credit to banks." - UK Guardian


Is this the Euro Spring -- the common man's uprising against Plutocracy -- and will it arrive stateside?
