...impeccably groomed and attractive person in a lab coat strolls by. It is only when McSteamy, a.k.a. actor Eric Dane, passes through that it becomes clear Halloween is sharing turf with the cast of Grey's Anatomy, also filming at the VA hospital that day. This is a classic L.A. moment, in which fictional doctors from two different media and vastly different genres might give an autograph to a real doctor in the parking lot. But the juxtaposition of the two casts also highlights the differences between Zombie's Hollywood and almost everyone else...
...Royal into a May 6 runoff between mainstream right and left. The strong showing of centrist contender François Bayrou (who captured 18.5% of the vote, compared to Sarkozy's 31% and Royal's 26%), now presents the two remaining candidates with the classic task of wooing the moderate vote without alienating their partisans. That's a healthier challenge for France than putting out the fires of extremism. Sarkozy's success came in tandem with the collapse of Le Pen, who garnered just 10% of the vote.

"But I want to hear her details...
...first-round vote that drew an 84% turnout, conservative Nicolas Sarkozy won more than 31% of the returns, vs. nearly 26% for Royal, setting up a classic left-right contest for the May 6 runoff. France is enthralled. It's the first matchup of candidates born after World War II, and with high unemployment and immigration boiling issues, the stakes are enormous. Royal desperately needs the votes of centrist François Bayrou, who took 18.5% of the first-round tally. She has reached out to Bayrou, but the would-be kingmaker is refusing to endorse either finalist. Sarkozy seems...
