What if the World could vote for the US President?

The U.S. Presidential race. What if the world could vote?

Friday, October 31, 2008 by Stefan

With the U.S. Presidential Election just days away, the entire world seems fixated on who will lead America into the tough times ahead. Will it be McCain or Obama? More Americans seem to belooking at this election more seriously than any in recent history, and rightly so. America, and the world, find themselves in economic, and political situations not seen for decades, and only the most dilligent and intellengent of leaders should be in power to guide us through these tough times.

Most American’s have their decisions made, and are prepared to support the candidate they find themselves most in tune with. While that’s all well and good, and they are ultimately the ones who will decide the fate of the country, one might wonder how the rest of the world feels about the upcoming election, even though they cannot vote.

I’ve come across a site that allows anyone, anywhere in the world, to cast their vote for the next American president. Each vote is tracked (through their IP address) to see which country you are voting from. As for the results, is it really that suprising?

Super Tuesday. Another sporting event? Nope, just politics.

Do you fear change? Not this year, say most Americans.

The American melting pot.

Most say U.S. on wrong track.

Is the lifestyle in America too convenient?

I think the results are not that surprising at all, considering how people want some change. I hope the right man to lead the nation will win.

Thanks a lot for visiting my blog and for your comment.

Honestly, I don’t think that the outcome would be any different. I’m of course assuming that Obama would emerge the victor if the polls are to be believed.

Have you watched that 30min infomercial produced by the Obama camp? It’s really powerful I would say. Although I think that international trade would suffer if Democrats are in power, I think Obama would win on the virtue of his personality alone.

Cheney’s endorsement of McCain surely didn’t help. lol

That is a great thought! America is known to influence world events and its actions or inactions have somewhat of a domino effect to the rest of the world, so why not? what if in fact the world could vote?

the logistics will be horrible to plan i’m sure and it will never happen anyway but still a very intelligent idea!
