This was going to be about elections. Media here in Spain seem far more intrested in US elections than in the one that is soon about to take place here. Everybondy and their uncle is discussing Barak and Hillary and the merits of one compered to the other. The republican candidates are more unknown. It may have to do with the democratic candidates being more visible, but also because it is assumed that a democrat will end up in the white house this time around. The candidates here are far more bland. Boring one might say.
curiously there seem to be a similar thing going on in the republican party and in PP (the right-wing party) in that there is a battle between the hardcore conservatives and the more right-light. In the Us that is resolved in the voting. (I think) Voters want the light-version, they vote the light version.
The news is having lots of fun with the mayor of Madrid and the "senator" of the same region, both from PP. Here the fractions fight inside the party and the one who wins get to dictate politics of the party until there is a new fight. The voters don´t have much say in it, and the only way they can state their opininon is voting for another party.
Hmm. This did end up being about politics after all. And I who thought I was going to tell u all about my Free-cell abstinences...
