Elections 2008

Today was election day here in Spain, with Prime Minister Zapatero winning for a second 4-year term.

It's been pretty interesting with spanish and american elections happening at the same time. I've been able to compare the two systems and see the advantages and disadvantages of each.

One of the most blatant and abysmal differences is the length of the presidential campaign:

US - over a year long
Spain - 14 days
