I remember being part of...Good for your boyfriend! I remember being part of similar protests against Reagan in 1984 and Spiro Agnew (Nixon's VP) in 1972. Of course, I probably shouldn't mention that they both won the ensuing election...<br /><br />I remember, several decades ago, a joke about French elections that went something like "On Monday, students march in protest. On Tuesday, a general strike is called. On Wednesday, barricades go up." And so on, with every day drawing the nation closer and closer to popular insurrection, concluding (of course) with "On Sunday, voters go to the polls and re-elect the Conservative candidate." Hopefully, this will be the election that breaks the pattern!James David Walleyhttp://www.ravenfallsphotography.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4961413821319797583.post-41138545612428788712012-05-05T16:00:15.329+02:002012-05-05T16:00:15.329+02:00I happened to stumble across your blog!

I enjoy following the elections from the US (why are they more interesting than our own?). <br /><br />Molly<br /><br />PS - Did you know that all three Frenchmen who are working on Hollande's campaign are American-educated and are basing their campaign strategy off of Obama's? That's most likely why you're reminiscent about their slogans being similar.Mollyhttp://mollysmego.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4961413821319797583.post-24216695081020364232012-05-04T02:18:16.869+02:002012-05-04T02:18:16.869+02:00Little grey lady by the wall...DadLittle grey lady by the wall...DadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4961413821319797583.post-60080391585383606592012-05-03T22:51:06.357+02:002012-05-03T22:51:06.357+02:00I know you'll be biting your nails Sunday as y...I know you'll be biting your nails Sunday as you wait for the election results!
