John Rosenthal in World Politics Watch: "The received wisdom is that Nicolas Sarkozy is universally "hated" in the French "banlieues": the poor, dilapidated suburbs on the outskirts of France's major urban centers. This received wisdom was predictably relayed by a recent New York Times Magazine piece, complete with death threats against Sarkozy and an impressive picture of French "hip-hoppers". But the results of last Sunday's election tell a different story -- and even some French "hip-hoppers" were for Sarko."
