Saw a headline in the news that I really hadn't expected to see anytime soon. Are you ready? Here it is:
Conservatives score wins in EU parliament voting
"Center-right parties hailed European Parliament election victories as a continent-wide vote for conservative approaches to the economic crisis and pledged Monday to forge ahead.
Right-leaning governments came out ahead in Germany, France, Italy and Belgium, while conservative opposition parties won in Britain and Spain."

Now, a "conservative" in the European union may not be quite a conservative here in the USA, but it is a great start.
I like this part:
"Tonight is a
very difficult evening for Socialists in many nations in Europe," said
Martin Schulz, the leader of the Socialists in the European Parliament.
"(We will) continue to fight for social democracy in Europe."
We have an election coming up in 2010. Maybe we can look forward to the same thing?!?!?!
