Alas...

My pretend girlfriend/French presidential hopeful Segolene Royal appears to have been defeated.

The votes coming in show her a decisive loser to the infernal conservative machinations of Nicolas Sarkozy. Ah well... I suppose she was just too good to be true.

You may have lost the vote, Segolene, but you've captured my heart... God be with you, you silly socialist madame, may God be ever at your side.
