But the fact that I have to include Rosie O’Donnell in a list of funny people should suggest how slim the pickings are. At Harvard, too, women in comedy are few and far between.

More recently, Metroscopia's poll for the liberal newspaper El País put the Socialists' lead at 4.1%. Either way, says University of Murcia political scientist Ismael Crespo, the Socialists have to hope for a high turnout. "The PP's ranks are very loyal; 80 to 85% of those who voted for them in 2004 will vote for them this time," he says. "But traditionally, about...
