Monday will dawn on a new and shining day for France and for relations between the European nation and America. Conservative candidate Nicolas Sarkozy won a victory over socialist Segolene Royal in Sunday's Presidential election run-off. Mr. Sarkozy received just over 53 percent of the vote to Mrs. Royal's tally of just short of 47 percent with 85 percent turnout, highest in 40 years. Sarkozy is the son of a Hungarian immigrant who is not an American conservative, but is seen as an ally of the United States, is making strong U.S.-French relations a top priority in his administration. Royal was seeking to become France's first woman president.
With Angela Merkel leading Berlin's government, and Gordon Brown likely to take over leadership in London, Sarkozy's victory to lead Paris government could lead in a great friendly trio in Europe for the United States.
CONGRATULATIONS TO MR. SARKOZY AND WE HOPE THAT WE CAN LOOK FORWARD TO STRONGLY IMPROVED RELATIONS WITH THOSE OF YOU IN FRANCE!
