| Economy could doom Sarkozy as France heads to polls Posted: PARIS (Reuters) - France votes on Sunday in round one of a presidential vote, with a feeble economy that could make Nicolas Sarkozy the country's first president to lose a fight for re-election in more than 30 years.

"I've decided to keep the place up," he says, "because I hope to buy it back from the bank." |
