The French elections

The center-left Hollande narrowly beat the conservative Sarkozy in Sunday's 10-candidate first round by 28.6 percent to 27.1 percent, the Interior Ministry said with 99 percent of votes counted, but Le Pen stole the show by surging to 18.0 percent, the biggest result for a far-right candidate.

The European crisis is transitioning from financial to political crisis. The people are sick and tired of what is going on. The French are waking up after two full years of economic uncertainties. This is an important development for Europe as the Germans become increasingly more isolated.
