After all, their cousins in Schroeder's SPD would have won hands-down if it weren't for the renegade Left party of Oskar Lafontaine and Gregor Gysi, with its roots in the old East Germany ruling party. The French Socialists have been here before, of course: Their candidate Lionel Jospin failed to reach the second round of the 2002 presidential elections because so many traditionally Socialist voters opted for stronger tobacco in the form...
