Fortune tellers seek signs to predict French poll - Yahoo! News

See, fortunetellers have an important function. Statistics at times can become false to chance, so why not consult the tarot? Chances are that the election could be in the cards ;-)


Fortune tellers seek signs to predict French poll - Yahoo! News:

"PARIS (Reuters) - With France's presidential elections just days away, the nation's fortune tellers are urgently shuffling tarot cards and staring into crystal balls as they try to predict the result ahead of time.

Most opinion polls put right wing former interior minister Nicolas Sarkozy in the lead for Sunday's first round vote, ahead of Socialist Segolene Royal and centrist 'third man' Francois Bayrou.

But with up to 40 percent of the electorate still undecided, there remains plenty of room for alternative forecasting methods, even though these could prove as reliable as the polls which failed to predict the outcome of the 2002 election."
