93% of the French would vote for Obama
I will let you translate:

Seriously, if this not a scientific proof, in the mind of the Republican man, that McCain is the right choice?

1. 'I'm French (Canadian) and I'm voting for Obama.
Yeah, yeah, I know. The Canadian part takes all the romance out of it.

3. Odd...
That means that French people voting for Far Right parties like Front National would also vote for a Black guy. Huh?

5. Probably... Awkward isn't it?
But the Front National is about to become a thing of the past. Le Pen retired and passed the baton to his daughter, who is far from being as popular, and his electors are simply dying off, for the most part.

14. Aussies join world cheering for Obama
MORE than three-quarters of Australians say they want Democrat candidate Barack Obama to be the next US president, while only 10 per cent are in favour of Republican John McCain.

A Reader's Digest poll of more than 17,000 people in 17 countries has shown that Senator Obama would win in a landslide in every country except the one where he is running for president.

The Netherlands is the country agitating most strongly for Senator Obama, with 92 per cent of those polled supporting him. Germany came a close second, with 85 per cent support for the Democrat.

Russia gave Senator Obama the lowest score, with 52 per cent, but Senator McCain scored only 17 per cent there. Senator McCain did not attract support of more than 26 per cent in any country other than the US.

http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,24463588-5013948,00.html


But as we cant vote it is up to you Americans to ensure Obama is elected. The world has a stake in this outcome and it is pretty apparent we (the rest of the world) do not want Mccain/Moosalini administration.

Peace

15. The Russians do not want to deal with a "black" man
Yes, Obama is biracial. But you know what I mean.

I read somewhere they feared to deal with a black man on nuclear treaties.
