I was in France for work 20 years ago and heard then about the previous time Front National did so well in the first round Voter apathy was at a high for that round Absolute low for the second, because no one wanted Jean-Marie Le Pen Seems to be a pattern

Also reminded me of the 1991 Louisiana gubernatorial election wherein the only reason Edwards won a 4th term (while indicted for a host of crimes) was because his opponent in the race was David Duke "Vote for the Crook, Not the Duke" et al.
