Alain Duhamel is a prominent French journalist and political commentator. In 1963, Duhamel started working at Le Monde. He started giving talks on Europe 1 from 1974. He has also written in Lib�ration since 1992, and in Les Derni�res Nouvelles d'Alsace. Duhamel has also hosted several television political broadcasts: � armes �gales from 1970, Cartes sur table on Antenne 2 from 1978, succeeded by L'Heure de v�rit�, and eventually 100 minutes pour convaincre from 2002, as well as Question Ouverte. During the French presidential election of 1995, Duhamel, along with fellow journalist Guillaume Durand, hosted the television debate between Jacques Chirac and Lionel Jospin. Duhamel has also worked with RTL from 1999. In 2006, Duhamel published Les Pr�tendants 2007, listing 20 likely contendants of the French presidential election of 2007, and notably ignoring S�gol�ne Royal. Duhamel persisted to denying that Royal was a likely contendant, even as she rose in popularity. He eventually included a chapter on the pocket edition of the book. On November 27, 2006, during a talk at the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris, Duhamel stated his intention to vote for Fran�ois Bayrou.
