Considering the source, I just have to say :wow:

The World (including the U.S.) wants Obama/Biden.

1. Germany
only 86% in my country i doubt these numbers. There is no way that 14% would vote for Mc cain or any republican here in my country.

3. LOL. It *is* a conservative leaning source. Large oversampling of conservatives no doubt.
But world-wide conservatives aren't stupid enough to vote for McCain.

4. Agree, it's far too high, but the point is made.
Also, the 86% for Obama is misleading because most of those feel he is too far to the right and will be hamstrung by previous policies.

Still, the hope is there.

2. World consensus and a high-impact graphic
With that kind of support from the global population, perhaps it's a chance for a new era of cooperation and progress on so many long-neglected issues.

6. But...but..but...McCain wins Andorra.
Why can't Obama close the deal there? Why can't he reach out to Andorra voters? It's not over yet!
