DSK stands out altough it does not show yet in the polls

This week the 3 candidates of the Socialist party debated on TV about Economic issues.
Briefly about how they did.

DSK stood out and promoted himself as a real stateman with the skills and global view necessary for the job.
Sego pulled herself out of it, keeping a strong lead in the polls.
Fabius is not credible.

I think DSK really set a cat among the pigeon. Although it does not show in the polls yet, let's remember that only the socialist party members are voting for the primary. They are the ones this debate was targeted to. What Strauss Kahn needs is to erode Sego's support. He might very well create a big surprise and prevent her from getting the 50% + 1 vote she needs to win at the first round.
Especially since the debate on the EU and foreign policy is still to come and he is expected to do better than Segolène on that issue...

To be continued... but after watching this video, I think DSK could make it.
