Looks like it's being moved up a few months to November 20th - http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5iEQ8pAl_gNoauJYA6u8je3NlZp1A?docId=CNG.2ffb46ba6b1be5db2d6f75f4440c5c02.2f1

Please, everyone, don't post here unless you know exactly as much as Hash. I would say you can post if you know more but obviously no one has greater knowledge.

A lot of American posters in this board do exactly that, and it's genuinely annoying.

And when it comes to European posters talking about American elections...

Rajoy is essentially known by every single Spaniard?

Can someone explain without heavy doses of bias why Rajoy is so disliked?

Any significant news or polling recently? Things seem to have gotten awfully quiet.

Is it fair to say that PP is close to the mainstream of the Republican Party here (let's try to avoid the Tea Party rants, etc.)?

So polls close in roughly two and a half hours, right? When do we expect PP to hit around 160-175 seats? Does anyone have a decent live stream of the results coverage?

PP will have 175 seats at the very beggining of the night. I'll be following the results here: http://www.generales2011.mir.es/ini99v.htm

and also in ELPAIS.COM, twitter and elmundo.es

My town is San Sebastian de los Reyes (north of Madrid)

Do you know of anyone with a live stream video of the results?

You mean, a livestream of some tv station's reporting of the results? You want to practice your spoken Spanish comprehension?

I can understand a channel's graphics.  Tongue  It's also fun to observe the atmosphere even if I don't understand what is being said.

Wow. I need the name of that anchor on the live stream.  Smiley  She's the only thing better than the results right now.

She's Ana Blanco. The left is in love with her (myself included) and is a brillant journalist, but PP hates her because they say she's biased (which is false, as RTVE and her programme "Los desayunos" has got a lot of international recognition and has won many prizes).

Uh...I'm not concerned with her politics.  Wink  Thanks for her name!

For the record, I have a history of being attracted to political opposites.

No. Wait. Not that old woman. The younger one in green anchoring the commentary.

I love the scenes outside of the PSOE headquarters. There are about ten people stationed on the sidewalk as a few others casually walk by. Election? What election?

Gracias a Dios (that's "Thank God" in Spanish) for Teddy's translation.

Agreed but it would have been so much more satisfying if the victory was against Zapatero.

Another dead-in-the-water moment for the European left. Bring on France and Germany!
Let's not forget Italy as well.  Smiley

With a very unpopular Berlusconi officially out of power, don't bet against the Italian Left screwing up again.

You wish.


Nominate Vendola. Please. Now that Berlusconi is gone, I'd really like our chances at another landslide.  Wink

We can take this to the Italy thread if you wish.
