16 May 2008 Election Day reports
Like the PRD are any different. 4 years of PRD was enough to scare any sane person for life.
not denying it
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....

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.

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.
tomorrow we can go back to higher Gas prices and get ready for the dollar to go back to it Hipolito's days.

More metros!
Now that Leonel controls the purse-strings for another four years, I would expect round 2 of the metro to be announced soon and ground-breaking shortly thereafter.
I just wish they'd put a stop in front of my apartment.

After the dust settles, will the metro run on time?????

Front page story on the Beeb:
BBC NEWS | Americas | Dominican leader wins third term
President Leonel Fernandez called for all sectors to unite in the consolidation of progress, economic and social stability. He spoke after PRD opposition candidate, Miguel Vargas had accepted defeat. President Fernandez dedicated the victory to the founder of the PLD, Juan Bosch, and to the late Quilvio Cabrera, director of the Dominican Agrarian Institute, who died in an accident when on his way to a campaign event in San Francisco de Macoris. Fernandez said that the vote was a clear recognition to the work of the present administration. Fernandez spoke at the Casa Nacional of the PLD. This will be his third term in government.
El Caribe was citing 81% of the vote in Bulletin #8??? Oh well no matter.
Interesting that there will be a 20+% abstention....The No Opinion vote didn't do much....
I wonder if we will ever know who much those 2 million votes cost the DR taxpayers...Doubt it. We'll be paying for this election for many years to come in ways we have not even imagined yet.

I just want to thank all of you who have been posting on this thread. It's been informative and interesting. I saw somewhere that Leonel has called for 2 days of celebrating! oh JOY!
I just wish the neighbors (right next door!!!) would take a break on their celebrating. the music started at 6:06PM last night and hasn't taken a break. Right now I'm on 28 hours with NO sleep! Not good for this ole body! Of course, it sounds like the same scratched record from outer space with a heavy base beat playing non-stop!
Where's a very localized power outage when you want one!

Abstention seems to have been at a high in this election. While in the 2000 presidential election (Hipolito Mejia vs. Danilo Medina), abstention was 24%, and in the 2004 election it was 27% (Hipolito Mejia vs. Leonel Fernandez), this year (Leonel Fernandez vs. Miguel Vargas), it seems to have increased to about 35%, to do the math using Bulletin No. 7 number of 3,720,460 valid votes and 5,764,387 registered voters.
