In a recent poll by the Australian news network ABC, the world would rather Barack Obama win the upcoming presidential election than John McCain. 22 countries from all over the world and over 22,00 people were surveyed for this poll. 17 out of the 22 countries preferred Obama to McCain.
It's nice to know that the world can see right through John McCain and the Republican Party's hollow message of change unlike 45% of Americans. My opinions about this presidential race are clear, that Obama should win, but living in the liberal state of California severely influences my views of other's political ideals. I may not be able to see the appeal of a pitbull with lipstick and a POW(we get it McCain, enough is enough!) but evidently a large amount of Americans do. It is nice to see that with the deadlock over who will win the White House it is clear who the rest of the world supports.As stated in the article, more people believe that if Obama were to be elected he would improve our foreign relations, which is a prime concern of mine for the upcoming election. If Obama were to be elected I believe our relationship, torn asunder by George Bush, would be repaired somewhat. Don't misunderstand me, I don't think that if Obama is elected all our problems will magically be fixed, but i think that Obama and not McCain is a major fix for those problems, foreign policy being a major problem for America. John McCain claims to be a "maverick" and advocate change in Washington, but how much change can you squeeze out of a candidate that voted with Bush 95% of the time. I believe that Obama and not McCain will help restore our ailing foreign image under the Bush administration, and evidently so does the world.

I think it is interesting that the rest of the world pays action and has mind up its mind on an election in another country when even some Americans have not made up their minds or are not even going to vote.
THANK. YOU! I am so sick of the "POW" push for McCain. Really though, you have no other arguments for voters? Yeah, we get it. You were tied up for years, and you care about the country. That is great and all, but that isn't a very good reason for people to vote for you.
And what is with this whole "Country First" campaign of his? Because Obama is very anti-America? PSH. I'm pretty sure both candidates are putting country first.
And thank you, 17 countries that would prefer Obama. I wholeheartedly agree. Too bad the world can't vote, eh? ;]
