Both these campaigns succeeded where Bayrou fails: they were up-to-date, without direct party-ties, and played on a person without being about this person. In the first case the one you had to vote for didn't appear on the actual posters, but his supporters. In the second case the two personalities portrayed had nothing to do with city politics, because they're both in the federal government.
But it wasn't a Presidential. Communal and legislative elections are very different. The office of President is a little bit like a King job in our Constitution hence the comments about our system being a Republican Monarchy.
