1. How many candidates are there?

I just hope that Le Pen doesn't make it to the second round again. As for Sarkozy, he sounds like an ass to me, but I don't know much about his positions other than that he's a conservative (and by "conservative", I mean center-right, not fascist like Le Pen.)

3. 12 candidates for the first round

From what I understand Sarkozy is a real neocon who has been stirring up the anti-immigrant crowd in France. It would be a crying shame if the second round came down to a neocon (Sarkozy) and a neo-Nazi (Le Pen)
