Like the PRD are any different. 4 years of PRD was enough to scare any sane person for life.

I just have this feeling that the perception of Leonel from the outside is that he is this can do no wrong politician that is the savior of this country and I just wanted to point out that he is a no good piece of scum like the rest of them. The person I replied to made it seem like people voted for him because he was the best candidate when he was in fact the candidate that had the most to offer money wise. Him and MVP can sleep in the same bed for all I care.


MIUCA is my party....

[Mr. Lu]

I just heard that MVP is going to officially recognize the PLD's victory and that according to the second bolletin Fernandez has upped his lead.

And by the way MIUCA, the party that came out of no where, with a party that didn't have a candidate, has won fourth place in the 2 bolletines. Though fourth place isn't first for people like me it gives me an option for a candidate that actually wants change. I think it can catapult him to a stronger candidacy in 2008.

[Mr. Lu]

It's official! Leonel en primera vuelta. MVP just recognized it! So tomorrow we can go back to normal. Thank God! And good night!

After the first publishing of the votes: Well it seems it is the PRD that has lost. At least the PRD won in Jarabacoa but it really doesn't matter now. They are totally useless, stupid and corrupt but I favored them anyway ...just because...the PLD Version 2004-? : I just hope people with a normal income that just will help them to get by will be under their radar now because this government will really start to bleed them out.

I am not a follower of nobody but beware of the ones who talk about progress but mean clown's masquerade on every face. There is a high pricetag on that, too.

It's great to see that Guillermo Moreno got the amount of votes he did. This is exactly what I wanted to happen. I truly hope this surprising support he received motivates him to run again in 4 years. Who knows, maybe MIUCA will be a party to reckon with in 2012. Especially after Fernandez is given 4 more years to rob public funds.
