US Election Poll for non-US subsim members
 

OK,

Since Neal has set up a poll for registered US subsim members, I thought it might be interesting to see how the non-us crowd would vote.

I have a good idea as to what it will be but hey why not.

I heard in the radio this morning that if the election was held in Scandinavia....

Obama would get 75% of the votes, 4% to McCain, 21% Undecided.

5 votes and only 2 posts :hmm:

I'll wait a while :lol:

Funny, Ralph Nader is coming to speak at my university next week. I'm guessing he already knows he's not going to have anything more important to do after today :lol:

Predictable results ahoy!

Really, besides whats the point? :-?

No less of a point than the US-only poll, I think.

Seriously, why not? We can at least vote virtually. Not like we're any less interested in the election because we can't really vote.

As a European I would prefer McCain, for if he goes off limits he can be easier refused to give him what he wants from europe.

If I were American, I would prefer Obama, for he would be better choice for very needed reforms and changes in "my" country.

As a private man hating to be put into a camp, I don't vote any of them. I would claim office myself and pragmatically chose my cabinet from people I see fit from both parties, not respecting this idiotic (and polarising) party separation.

So where to make my cross, eh?

In the end, Obama is much, much more conservative, than many Europeans think and many republicans are willing to recognise. I think many Europeans will rub their eyes in sobering-up and disillusionment in the coming four years. There will be some closer cooperation in some areas and a generally more civil tone in relations, but ongoing bitter separation if not confrontation in others. To assume that all of a sudden the US will move closer to EU positions in general, is one of the biggest misjudgement of Europe during the past 20 months.

Funny, you remind me of some Russian friends who said that if Obama wins, it's a tactical victory for Russia because he'll be easier to deal with in direct diplomatic relations; however if McCain wins, it's a strategic victory for Russia because they expect Republican rule to bankrupt the US society into impotency to oppose Russian strategic interests, whereas through Obama's reforms they expect it to retain that capacity to oppose.

bah
 

Europe is in bed with Obama, so you shouldnt even bother.

Don't let Michelle find out about that, or Europe is doomed:rotfl:

We had one on the radio on the way to work this morning.

71% said they didnt give a toss, 29% said OBH.

Shame the poll was rigged, they claimed not a single vote for Macca even though I knew of at least 3.

I'm looking forward to see what happens though.

pff, in bed. What, other people can't have an opinion?

Hey, we've been through this before.

For the record, I recall support for Obama being around the 85% mark in Russia.

In Studivz, the german facebook clone, it was 95% Obama.
But whoever wins, I wouldn't want his job.
