Danny Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 or 'les candidats présidentiels' ?? or 'désignés présidentiels'there is probably not a direct translation as the 'ticket' refers to the team of president and vice president elect who are chosen together unlike in France.Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
