a turnout of 85% is quite a big thing even for france and europe. this is a victory of both candidates who led passionate campaigns that grabbed peoples minds.
i would have preferred a victory of segolene royal but in my opionion - as far as i can judge from reading campaign websites (im austrian) - sarkozys campaign was better to a degree that justifies his victory. while royals websphere is split up in many different websites sarkozys web-profile seems much more focused and getting to the point.
segolene web-strategy was focused on involving and debating (http://emilitants.desirsdavenir.org/index.php?c=p articiper_argumentaires), sarkozys site delivered messages more clearly while still "featuring" participation in a convincing way (http://www.sarkozy.fr/debate/index.php?lang=fr).
