Conservatives Win by a Landslide in Spain 

          On Sunday, Spain joined a growing list of European countries that have tossed out their socialist governments in favor of the conservative party.  The landslide victory of the center-right Partido Popular in Spain confirmed what many believe is a trend that will ultimately see the end of socialism on the continent.  Bogged down by 21.5% unemployment under the ruling socialist party, the citizens of Spain apparently had had enough!  With conservative governments now in place in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and even Sweden, many observers believe that Europe’s dalliance (see WOW) with socialism may be at an end.
