France's Royal and Bayrou join forces in debate

It was billed as a debate, but the congenial meeting Saturday between Socialist Segolene Royal and the French legislator she defeated in France's presidential primary was aimed more at their common rival: Nicolas Sarkozy.

Both Royal and Bayrou insisted that the old left-right face-off is no longer working and won't solve France's problems, which include a stagnant economy, unrest in immigrant-heavy housing projects and a fading voice in global affairs.
