Will our ExPats and International DUers please report on news coverage
over the next 24 hours or so? I really want to know if the record turn-outs will be emphasized as well as the outrageous attempts to block votes.... Obviously, I'm hoping to hear that some of our overseas populations have regained some faith in us as a people, if, as it does appear, we do knock out the Bushies* decisively...

thanks!

1. Continuous coverage here (Netherlands)....of the election and historical
programs of past elections, shows over American culture and influence, a mock election with the audience of one show resulted in

88% for Kerry :D:D:D
12% for Bush :nuke:

This show I watched absolutely gave me the impression that most Dutch are very PRO-AMERICAN and anti-BUSH...but I already knew this!


Fantastic!

You live in Amsterdam, apparently, or perhaps Den Haag.

In my farming community, in the South, they're nearly 100% Bush.

Wat jammer.

2. Unfortunately, it's just the opposite.
Since there were no major instances of voting problems, the people where I live are starting to turn a bit against the Americans. Before that, they just disliked Bush and felt sorry for us for putting up with him. Now, they tend to think we deserve it. And I can't argue that one bit.

4. Brighton
The pop radio station here LOVES playing the song "American Idiot." I stayed up all night watching BBC, where they basically explained the electoral college. The only coverage was of the Presidential race, and they noted that Dems kept control of the Senate/ House when that occured.
