Obama or McCain??

A trend here that I have noticed is that when people find out we are from California, they all seem to ask "Obama or McCain?"

There is SO much coverage of the US election over here.. Obama and McCain are on the covers on magazines, on billboards..  everywhere!! 

Just this morning, our phone at the apartment rang. It was a French man who was calling to sell double pane windows (??)  Anyhow, since the apartments owner wasnt here (aka- my mom), he asked "Do you own an apartment?"  I replied "Yes, In California!" he laughed.. then said,

"Obama McCain"

I said Obama (being that I am a sell out to the pressures of France, and I knew saying McCain would get me hate-crimed) and he laughed and said "That is great, man!!" and then hung up.

Strange, strange place we are in.....

Now I'm off to spend another 15 euro on a load of laundry.. Be back with damp clothes in two hours!
