There was a place in Palermo Soho named "Sacramento". The Buenos Aires Democrats (or something along those lines) organized a debate watching event or two and then hosted a huge election night results watching party.

This is true. I was in Brazil and Argentina in 2008, and prior to the elections, the talk about President Obama was electric. When he won, people actually congratulated me. It was weird, but everyone was so inspired -- even the Norwegian Nobel Committee. I'm by far opposed entirely to Obama. He talked a lot of talk, did some good things, but he didn't live up to his grandiose promises. People expected a lot more, and got a lot less.
My boyfriend and I will definitely be at Sugar tomorrow to watch the debate - hope to see some of you there! Since we're from DC, we're more than willing to chat a little politics with anyone who's interested (can't live there without picking it up)...
