Count-down…
Taking the law against any campaign advertising until 90 days before the first of July national elections seriously, all the presidential candidates have suspended their facebook pages and their blogs… which is, when you think of it, kind of refreshing.
This hasn’t stopped the PARTIES from gearing up for the 90 days of what will be just like three our of every four years in the United States… round the clock political spin. Right now, the parties are arguing before the Federal Elections Commission (which is part of the judiciary, more an administrative law court than anything comparable to what’s in the U.S.) over the number of debates to be held. PRD is accusing the PRI of trying to hold the number to only two… maybe because their candidate has trouble remembering anything involving a higher number than that?
