- the car chase scenes - yes, do remember meeting those party convoys on the way to work or on the way home!
- the catchy one liners and the new dances that seemed to have infiltrated everything including sermons and churches
- the sexual innuendos - surely you must have seen or read about what happened at Metro TV! Ah, the scandal!
- the good, the bad, the ugly - no names will be mentioned here
- the bill boards advertising everything from change to champions
- and everything else thrown in between!
Hmm, both parties have been loudly silent on what next, but yes, I guess it's early days and in between the merry making for Christmas I am sure there will be new posters, new promises all in time for the New Year.
P.S. as usual I am impressed with the street sellers who seem to know how to 'work' the demand based on topical issues. There seemed to have been a slow down in the sales of the usual political paraphernalia in the aftermath of the election day, but yes, yesterday business was again booming for the flags, scarves and all the rest. A second wind I guess.

Dear Denise,
In your special style, you describe Round 1 of Election 08 like a Cloak-and-Dagger Thriller. Fun to read.
Hadn't even thought of the street sellers! Noticed there was nothing to buy on Sunday and Monday morning, but while Christmas has been stolen from the rest of us to them this must be like Christmas come early, another 18 days of sales!
It was a cloak and dagger thriller from all accounts Nana Yaw - the headlines in the dailies still attest to that fact. Seriously though I don't have the energy or the history to dissect what is happening. Will leave that to those of you who know so much more!
Hi Maya, seems as if the bill board companies have also picked up sales - noticed a new wave of billboards - albeit smaller from the opposition that seemed to have sprung up over the weekend. As for me, am enjoying the sale on petrol :-)
