Witnessing the Election from Abroad

I normally do not discuss politics to great ends and can’t recall ever writing about politics beyond typical schoolwork.  However, since I am here in Europe and finding that most people I meet here consider this election to be one of the most important elections in American history, I feel tempted to write down a little [...]

Day Two (Well, first day really, but we’ll call it day 2):
