Who do other countrie's citizens want to win?

As a Canadian, and also as someone who follows US politics rather closely, I was wondering who people that do not live in the USA support in the upcoming election.

Clinton / Obama - If so, which one, and why?

McCain?

Neither?

My preference is Obama. Several reasons. One being I would like to see a fresh face in the whitehouse, that can perhaps erase the tarnish that has been put there from the last several presidents.

Thoughts and opinions please :-)

I hope Obama wins also. It would be great to see a black president in the white house!

I don't like the look of Clinton. She looks a reptillian with some leather tied around her head creating a wrinkly face. And the fact her husband USED to be president just rings alarm bells. Like Bush Sr and Bush Jr.

My opinion is this ... why should we even bother expressing an opinion at all ? Most US folks couldn't even name the Canadian or British Prime Minister let alone make an intelligent observation about any aspect of our politics. If it's outside their borders they're just not interested.

Even here on ATS there's half a hundred threads about Walmart in downtown somewhere or other, USA, running out of egg mayonnaise or rice crispies or heaven alone knows what else. Meanwhile within a week my entire country will have no gasoline (yeah that thread died a death).

Why bother flattering them by expressing a preference at all ? It doesn't matter anyway, their country is well screwed over no matter who gets elected. But given that the Republicans have caused this disaster, how's about they let a Republican take the rap for it ? There's a novelty.

It does matter, because they are the only Superpower left in the world, and self-appointed World police. For the past decade the world is turned into a disatrious war after another distastrious war. We want peace, and that can only be achieved IF USA gets a new "great" president. Most importantly, I sincerely believe that Americans DESERVE a real president who could move the people and clean up all the mess at home and abroad caused by the disastrious Bush administration. Of course there are morons, ego-centrics, fat and ignorant Americans, but last time I was in USA I saw mostly smart, compassionate, sporting and open-minded Americans. So yeah, we should care who will become the next president of USA. If the ONLY good thing of a democracy voting system is that a country can "change-regime" without violence or even a plainout war. Should the Americans should make use of it and vote for the next great president!

McCain is just another republican, Clinton looks evil. Obama sounds like someone with a lot of ideals and who the people can rely on when I hear and talk with my American friends，so my vote goes for him.
