Not a big surprise. But exit polls reported in Switzerland and Belgium say Socialist Franciois Hollande has defeated French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

If confirmed, I believe Hollande would only be the second Socialist President of France under the Fifth French Republic (1959-present), the first being Francois Mitterand (1981-1995).
