Maybe we should outsource our votes?

We should just elect Obama to look good. It would be nice to visit another country without being stereotyped as a warmongering idiot :P

Hopefully this year, our electorate thinks globally, and votes for Obama, to help repair our image overseas.

I travel internationally too. I think they are more anti-Bush, and by extension, anti-McCain and not really pro-Obama. Most understand why we went into Afghanistan but do not understand why we did Iraq.

It says that if we as a nation need the world to stand with us, we can expect more cooperation if Obama is elected. I think fighting a war,you need to stop acting like the rest of the world is unimportant or doesn't matter.

McCain voter: "Who cares about what foreigners say? Do they pay our taxes? Screw em."

Obviously the rest of the world has no say in the election but it's safe to say that with the internet and television, people of the world have enough information to form their own conclusions on which candidate they prefer.

I've read a few articles recently that suggest Mccain is winning or is at least very close to winning in U.S. polls. He gets blown away everywhere else in the world. Why is that?

Maybe they care less about what Obama's name is than a lot of people here seem to.

No surprise. McCain supporters don't care about the rest of the world though- which is why we are currently the butt of jokes worldwide.
