This will be interesting.
I don't think it will. Even Jean-Marie Le Pen made the runoff once without standing a chance against Chirac in the second round. In the end, the majority of Western European voters still is very much opposed to the far right.
In my country the far right is the strongest, our right-wing presidential candidate got a whopping 35% in the first round and still couldn't pull off a win - twice. Against a green party candidate :) So there's that.
What I actually wanted to know - don't American voters envy France for having a real choice between more than just two people? More than just two parties?
