All is not yet lost for the President. The polls tell us that many voters remain undecided- enough to swing the result. But he has played most of the cards left in his hand, and there is an unmistakable sense that power is slipping from him.

萨科齐并非全无机会。民调显示，许多选民依然拿不定主意，这足以扭转大选结果。但萨科齐已经打出了手里的大部分牌，人们明确无误地感到权力正离他远去。“bling bling总统”(萨科齐的绰号)时代可能即将结束， “Flanby”时代或许不久就会来临。Flanby是法国的一种牛奶冻布丁，人们喜欢将奥朗德称为“Flanby”。
