...the Socialists are on the move:
The governing party of President Nicolas Sarkozy appeared to be beaten by the opposition Socialists on Sunday in a first round of regional elections marked by a record abstention, according to partial official results released Sunday night.
The results point to a resounding defeat for the center-right in the final round next Sunday, the last nationwide vote before presidential elections in 2012.
Conservatives are on the ascent in the U. S. and Britain; they're in decline in France. What does all this mean? In the famous words of James Carville, "It's the economy, stupid." When it's good, the public loves the incumbents; when it's bad, throw the bums out.
