Today is the scheduled date for the French election. Darned if I or anyone can say how it will turn out, though I think our President is right -- the attack on three policemen on the Champs-Élysées would certainly seem to boost the chances of Marine le Pen. Of course, I could be wrong, and Barack Obamas apparent favorite Emmanuel Macron, who says terrorism will be a fact of daily life that his countrymen will just have to get used to, will appeal to enough suicidal Frenchmen to carry the day.
