First, that the televised debate with Francois Hollande, his Socialist challenger, on May 2nd would reveal the value of his experience and expose his rival's lack of it. And second, that his strategy of chasing the far-right vote would pay off. With the National Front's Marine Le Pen pointedly refusing to endorse Mr Sarkozy, however, and with the polls consistently making Mr Hollande the favorite, neither hope looked likely to rescue the incumbent from defeat. Face-to-face with Mr Hollande in a television studio, and watched by nearly 18m viewers, Mr Sarkozy put in a feisty performance.
