Election Time!

So in a few hours I will be leaving for Madrid to "assist" in the American election night.
Tonight, students and oficials from all over the country are invited to follow the results closely, while in the meantime Tweeting and Facebooking about it.
I do not have a smartphone however, a small detail I overlooked when I requested my invitation - that's right, requested. Apparently it's been quite the battlefield getting hold of invitations.
Luckily my teacher has connections :)

The evening will be hosted in a fancy hotel with food and drinks and government oficials in formal attire. I'm so exiiiited, and I just can't hiiiide it!
Did I mention this could be a stepping stone for my future carreer?

Now apart from all that, I wanted to share my personal opinion on the race to the oval office.
First of all, I was quite disappointed when Mitrom announced his candidacy, especially after his 47% remark. I feel the republicans are poisoning their image with this guy. The debates didn't do them any good. Mitrom had solid point, we just never got to hear them. He never really elaborated on how exactly he was going to help the American people, ALL of them...
If I were American, I'd tend to be more democratic. Though this year, I wouldn't gladly vote for Obama either. He's walking on his toes not to make a mistake and it's made him way to careful in this campaign.
Altough I must commend him on all the things that have gone right in the past 4 years, you can't expect progress to happen overnight anyway.
Obama has lost my sympathy in that he's the president of Hollywood. As most of you know, I follow the American tabloids and "boekskes" every day. I'm telling you, there's not a single concert, talk show, Hollywood event that he hasn't gone to.
I don't think a president's rightful place is in Jay Leno's chair, or Michele doing push ups with Ellen Degeneres. I think it has stripped him from credibility.

I understand that Hollywood's money is as good as any to fund a campaign. And I see how celebrities can easily reach and influence voters. I just don't think they portray 'the American people'.

I am honestly not convinced of either one's victory tonight, it could go either way. 
But if I could vote, I'd go green.
That's right, Obama and Mitrom aren't the only people running for president...
