Feathers Fly in French Presidential Debate
With the second round of the Presidential election just days away, the canditates faced off in one crucial debate. President Nicolas Sarkozy came out rhetorically swinging and seizing the high ground of most arguments. Socialist opposition canditate Francois Hollande held firm in pressing home arguments on unemployment, debt, and the issues of globalization.
While there was no decisive knockout punch, Sarkozy appeared to be the energizer bunny during the three hour slug fest. Contrary to more rigidly structured American debates, the French faceoff allowed both arguments and and rhetoric to be tossed back passionately to and fro as in a game of tennis.
National elections are being held Sunday.
