Obama vs. McCain -- 14 days to go. Why do citizens in 70 countries prefer Obama to McCain?

World Citizens Prefer Obama to McCain by Nearly 4-to-1

FROM CNN's Jack Cafferty:
Senator John McCain says when it comes to foreign policy he's light years ahead of Barack Obama. Over and over again, McCain has insisted Obama lacks the necessary experience to conduct business with foreign countries on behalf of the United States.

So how do you explain this?

Gallup Polls conducted in 70 countries from May to September 2008 reveal widespread international support for Democratic Sen. Barack Obama over Republican Sen. John McCain in the U.S. presidential election. Among these nations, representing nearly half of the world's population, 30% of citizens say they would personally rather see Obama elected president of the United States, compared with just 8% who say the same about McCain. At the same time, 62% of world citizens surveyed did not have an opinion.

Overall, citizens in Europe are the most likely to state a preference for the next president of the United States and to think the election makes a difference to their country. Citizens in Asia are the least likely to state a preference for the next president of the United States and to think the election makes a difference to their country. In individual countries, only Georgia and the Philippines prefer McCain to Obama.

Could someone have pity on governor Palin and tell he what the VP does? I was so sure that last she screwed up about the VP helps the Senate, she explain now the things she would be doing helping the Senate creat the best laws with her helping them.

I must throw this out on Palin's helping win the votes for Obama/Bined with those $150,000 worth of clothes the campaign money has brought for her and her husbans and children! I am sure that was a first and most likely the very last stwar!!!
Thanks Roger, just could not pass that up I just saw on Anderson cooper 360 at 10p.m.

All of the people that have oil respect Obama that they can not stand Bush or the Conservative party.I believe in Europe France has the upper hand with Obama unil England comes in and say America is their faviorate child. Africa will now be able to get the help they need with getting all or those dictators backed by the U.S. out of office. Obama you are in for it, I trust all of this over to you so the public can help you also.
