Laos. Also in Cambodia, Georgia (the country) and The Phillipines. Pretty much of the rest of the world is rooting for Obama.

Yes, in countries where oppression is still a way of life. Doesn't surprise me at all.
I just talked with my friend in London who said we should be on the watch for the London press. The entire world is looking at how this election turns out. Our racism would not be tolerated in most of the civilized world. Why it is tolerated here is beyond me.

Whitman said she and McCain share a philosophy of scaling back the role of government. a point of view partly shaped by her EBay experience. "The EBay model is very Republican in its essence -- it's about making a small number of rules and getting out of the way while not overtaxing the community," she said.

Thanks for posting the graph, Helen, it's interesting to see what the rest of the world thinks.
Spiegel posted an interview (from Salon.com) with Bernard-Henri Lévy
SALON: A lot of Americans do not understand why it even matters what the rest of the world thinks about who the American president is.
LEVI: Because you are the most important, the most powerful country in the world. But don't be too narcissistic, you Americans. Everything matters to everybody. The next president of Iran matters to everybody. Who is president matters to everybody. Who presides over one of the most little states in the world, which is Israel, matters to everybody. The entire world matters. Even more little -- Gaza. Hamas or not Hamas? Everybody has the eyes on that. So it is a principle, a rule in this time of globalization: Everything matters to everybody.
