For all politically-interested Americans, it was a pretty big day yesterday. It has surprised us how in touch people here are with our electoral process. We, for our part, really wanted to vote in the primaries. So we applied for absentee ballots and visited the embassy (twice) to fill out paperwork -- to no avail. Then we found that the Democrats had a "global primary" this time, for expats everywhere. We registered... and waited. Then Monday evening we got an email with instructions and web links! So we got to vote. It won't count for as much as it would have in CA, or NY, or even TX later on -- but it's something.
I won't tell you which amazing black politician we voted for.

Romney is black on the inside right? ;)
The primaries are on the news constantly here... I find that strange. Well, not really, but probably a little frustrating if you are a Brit just wanting to live your life free of constant American news!
(It's handy for us...)
