I haven´t seen a topic of this already, so I made one :)
Although I don't live in the US, I do have an opinion about the subject (just like everybody else). The outcome of these elections will have a great influence on America (duh), but on Europe and the rest of the world as well.
A lot of people in western Europe are progressive compared to America, one of our more conservative parties would be considered quite 'left' or 'democratic' in America. So it isn't a big surprise that most Europeans are rooting for Obama (my English teacher adores Obama because he imitates Martin Luther King).
I was actually hoping for Hillary to be elected, but Obama is a good second. He gives good speeches, way better than McCain.
I have one big objection against McCain, and that is Sarah Palin. Was he hoping to win the Hillary-followers' votes by choosing her as his running mate? Just because she's a woman? Who wants to take away a very important right from all women in her country? McCain is already old, and although his health is still good, this still brings a higher risk that he'll die on the job - thus making Palin president. For me that's unacceptable.
So, what's your opinion on the subject? And if you do live in the States, what are you going to vote? And why?
