I didn't vote as it wouldnt be right seeing as I did vote in the other one. What I want to point out though - isnt it odd that other people get all "involved" in our elections? Not just with "well if it was here so in so would win" - but also going so far as to give money to one candidate - violating US law? Now I am not saying anyone here would do so - but look at the china connection with both Obama and the previous Democrat, Clinton. Look at the adoration Europe has with Obama - love from a continent that is moving more and more toward a single government (though Britain seems to be holding that back). Europe has become more and more socialist in governing themselves over the years, and so it is no suprise that those who do not share the American set of values would prefer someone that leans more toward "their" way.

I don't say this as an indictment - just an observation to consider when people claim that Obama is "more conservative" than most think, or that he isnt a "socialist".

You don't think that the different interest intensities have something to do with that the US more affects the rest of the globe, than for example a european nation affects the US...!? If I would set up a series of threads about internal german elections, the simple truth is that most people in america would not give a damn for it. We just had a political drama in Hessen, with lies and party rebellion - do you care at all? Be honest, you don't. Germany is cars, Sauerkraut, Bratwurst, Bier and Third Reich, and that pretty much sums it up. You can see it in the occasional Germany-threads I had launched over time - the interest always was limited, and what was there seem to have coming more from non-Americans than Americans.
And after the past 48 hours i must say i find this constant extremist polarisation "it's either american conservative model or it must be socialism" a bit tiresome. It's in several threads now, ad nauseum. Man, it borders paranoia, i sometimes think.

Yes, we get involved in the American elections, but mostly because America is involved alot of places. I dont see why thats a mystery.
