The SPD campaign is extremely well done.

Or, a direct response to a CDU spot: the good old flip-flop:

1. certainly don't see them

pussyfooting around do you?

Gee, how long with it take for us to accept politcal campaign "aid" from the Germans.

4. It's not hard- or softball; it is soccer.

Which is a lot harder than any other mainstream sport (with the possible exception of hockey).


More specifically it is the discipline "Blutgrätsche", the no-rules, all-out attack.

5. where'd you get those spiffy

retro-ostalgic stop sign avatars (i have a pair of shoes like that, from Think! TM)

LOL

7. google

The results I got from a few experiments with my digital camera at the next intersection weren't satisfactory, so I googled for "Ampelmännchen" images. The animated gif is home made, but feel free to use it :D .

8. Ach nööö.

I was never a "real Berliner" to begin with (though most of my Berliner friends mistook me for one), my few trips to East Berlin were strictly touristic (I shall forever treasure the years and years of DDR Stempel in my passport) and content myself with bewundering your lovely little avatar. Nice job.

2. I hope they can pull it off.

But I see a lot of polls saying the CDU will gain control.

My girlfriend is voting SPD. She lives in Rhineland-Pfalz.

From what I have seen on LinkTV, the SPD campaign is very positive.

3. we're trying

The lastest polls are saying that the SPD has a chance, nobody knows if it will be enough. Yet, we have already gained more than anyone had believed possible.

6. Try harder, dammit! ;) n.t.

9. here are the lastest polls

they could pull it off by an inch.

10. the general mood is swinging in the SPD's favor

In the "mood" discipline, which doesn't translate directly to the poll prediction, the SPD has caught up with the CDU.
