Obama & McCain: Now Global Electoral College

Lol. Go El Salvador!

Don't let anyone know most of the world wants Obama. That's considered a negative.

Demagogues look good to everyone. That's part of the appeal.

Just kidding.

I think it's hard for people in other countries to understand why McCain appeals to some americans. I do wonder how he'd do if he ran as a Democrat with most of his his current policy and personality (for those who say he's changed, picture the blue-doggish 2000 McCain). I'd imagine people worldwide would love him as a "respected man who suffered from his country's mistakes in vietnam" of somesuch.

I find it really depressing that having the entire world support your canidacy is a bad thing and a sign that the American people should actively vote against you. I really am starting to think we are completely screwed.

I don't know ginchin. I think there's some kind of unwritten rule in world politics that the more you appeal overseas, the less you appeal at home, and vice versa. I think it comes from the "special dispensation" most nations feel, or perhaps some inherent tribalism in the species.

A landslide of world opinion being interpreted as a reason for greater appeal in the US to the opposite of said opinion makes no sense to me, although I suppose it might apply to some folks who haven't figured out which century we live in. The Venezuela and Colombia results are interesting.
