The official campaign starts!


The campaign is officially on. Zapatero from Madrid and Rajoy from Cadiz kicked off their presidential campaigns.

The economic debate tonight gave me a big boost of optimism, Solbes destroyed Pizarro with voter-friendly language, visuals and tough attacks on the conservative agenda. Certainly Pizarro's proposal to scrap the current housing policy really hurts PP with young voters and women.

I also just got a letter from the head of the Socialist Congressional list for Murcia, my constituency, asking for my vote.

PSOE has also put out a very interesting campaign. Its PEB asks for people to go vote (abstention hurts us) at any cost. But the video shows a Socialist young voter going to pick up his mum in the village to take her to the polling booth even if he know she's going to vote PP. Nice positive message, will it work? I think so, bold nevertheless.
