French Don't Want DSK to Run: Poll

Dominique Strauss-Kahn may have beat rape charges in New York, but the French electorate does not look very forgiving—just 23% of people in France want DSK to even attempt to squeeze his way into the Socialist primary, according to a new poll. With the Socialist nomination process already underway, DSK would need special permission just to get into the race. Although Strauss-Kahn was once considered the leading candidate for the French presidency, 53% now say they'd prefer he keep out of the race altogether; 19% say he should throw his support behind one of the six Socialist candidates currently in the running, reports Reuters.
