Third Time's The Charm?

Nicolas Sarkozy is rumored to run for the 2017 French Presidential Election. After losing the 2012 election to François Hollande, Sarkozy is back and lobbying for the Republican nomination to fulfill his second five year term as President of France. 

There are multiple candidates running for the 2017 election however, only a few pose a threat to Sarkozy. But, should Sarkozy worry about his opponents or his past? One of the downsides of running for re-election is that people have preconceived ideas about you and articles on your past endeavors are passed around like candy. 

Do you think Sarkozy's campaign will be strong enough to win the election or do you think his time is over?
