“That is the key to Hollande's success because the

　　election is turning into a sort of referendum(公民投票)for or against Nicolas Sarkozy，”Eric Dupin，a journalist and political observer(观察员)told Global Post.“Francois Hollande is the one who appears not only as his main opponent(对手)politically，but also as his complete opposite psychologic

　　ally(心理上)．”

　　When he was the Socialist party leader，Hollande was nicknamed“the marshmallow(软糖)”because he hated fights.Sarkozy，by contrast，is known to be loud and aggressive(好斗的)．

　　When faced with Sarkozy's verbal attacks during the election，Hollande stayed calm.This sometimes annoyed even his own supporters.“I wish he would just let go and savage(用暴力对付)Sarko，”one Hollande voter said to the Guardian.

　　But Hollande still knows how to fight.Stéphane Le Foll，a Sicialist MEP who has been one of Hollande's closest advisors for 17 years and is co­directing his campaign，said Hollande had quietly planned his presidential bid(投标) for 10 years.“I think we all underestimated(低估)this guy，”Alain Minc，one of Sarkozy's closest friends and advisers，told Reuters.

　　Hollande was born in 1954 into a middle­class family.He lived through the 1968 protests(抗议)that nearly overthrew(推翻)the French government.“They shocked him，but also politicized him，he said in a recent interview，making him understand that change was possible，”reported the New York Times.When Hollande was 15，he told friends he expected to become president.
