France's answer to Missouri or Ohio undecided on candidate

The bell weather town of Donzy, which has often pointed towards the winner in national elections, if much like the rest of the country. Socialist candidate Segolene Royal has been a disappointment and has failed to ignite voters while Sarkozy on the right brings on a sense of obsession and doing whatever it takes to get elected (think McCain but further right) leaving Bayrou the candidate in the middle, to catch the imagination of the population.

With the elections only a few months away finding a voter who is enthusiastic about any candidate is not easy. Young, old or somewhere in the middle, voters are pessimistic about the choices. Bayrou is quickly moving up in the polls but the big question for most is whether he has the power to actually do anything leaving many to wonder if a vote for Bayrou is a waste.

In an election that raised hopes of change a year ago due to the relative youth of the two major candidates, most are now settling in that Election 2007 will just be more of the same old, same old.
