Politics Puerto Rican Style.


The election almost equals a hurricane, the way it disrupts traffic. We were held up so late in a traffic jam that we were not able to get to church Wednesday for prayer meeting. In Puerto Rico, everyone forms giant caravans of cars and drives around the island waving the flags of their party. We have 3 parties and 4 million Puerto Ricans on an island 35 x 113 miles. We still don't know who won as governor. The man in the picture (Pedro Rossello) celebrated a win Tuesday, but Wednesday they said he lost by 5,000 votes. There is a recount going on now, so we won't know for a while who is supposed to be running our island. Well, I know who is supposed to be running things! HE was not on the public ballot, but you can still cast your vote for him! Better do it soon, because no one knows when that election will be over either!Posted by Hello
