President Nicolas Sarkozy: Voters

Sarkozy Dept: Ms. Le Pen threw cold water on Mr. Sarkozy's attempts to woo her voters, according to Globe and Mail. Polls favor Mr. Hollande. Observers say Ms. Le Pen is distancing herself from Mr. Sarkozy in hopes of becoming the face of the French opposition under a Socialist leadership and she assailed conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy, who has borrowed some of Ms. Le Pen's rhetoric about immigrants and Muslims in his campaign, accusing him of impoverishing the French and giving up too much sovereignty to the European Union. Mr. Sarkozy is hoping to win over the more than 6 million voters who supported Ms. Le Pen in the second round. I will cast a blank ballot, she said. Each one of you will make your choice, she said, while insisting that she herself could not endorse Mr. Sarkozy or Socialist challenger Francois Hollande. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
