International DUers: your thoughts on midterm outcome

and how closely is your media following it? Can a resounding Republican defeat do anything to redeem our country's tattered reputation-- from a foreign perspective?

1. UK Media is following it

but not obsessing over it. I was actually posting quite a few articles about the whole pallaver from the UK press before I went on holiday.

All the people in the UK media are predicting that the Democrats will win, which may or may not cheer you lot up.

2. Heh-heh-heh..... he said "pallaver"

Poor lurking freeps all over are reaching for their dictionaries or wondering why he's referring to an ancient TV show.:evilgrin:

5. Canadian media haven't given it much coverage.

IMO as long as Bush is at the helm, negative attitudes towards the US will persist.

6. Headline on biggest Brazilian newspaper today:

"Saddam Hussein sentenced to death, two days before USA elections."

Big letters, above the fold.

7. Yes. We understand GOP has been wedging American voters and

using the devout as a tool. We see on these very DU boards how destroyed you are by what is being done in your name. We have nothing but respect for those Americans who saw through the crap. And that number rises every single week.
