well, i didn't find your party, but i did find a video about the election as it's seen globally. apparently the entire world is hoping for Obama to win. yesterday i was at the grocery store and the checkout lady was talking about him. she wants him to win too. so does the tailor downstairs and his assistant.

Screw that, vote!, vote early and vote often...
...this is too important to leave to our American friends

i just checked to see if any early results were in (they're not) and discovered that apparently a fair number of americans vote in their pyjamas.

The BBC has some results up now - Obama 3, McCain 8

I have not looked at any of the pictures, and now have no intention of doing so

Can we eliminate the answer that says I didn't vote please? It plays havoc with the numbers. Also that would apply to everyone not in the USA.

zelda_pinwheel · 11-04-2008, 07:08 PM

why ? i think it's worthwhile to see what proportion didn't vote. that's a valid statistic just as much as the other responses.

Now 103 to 34 Obama McCain. I'm breathing again at this moment.

ShortNCuddlyAm · 11-04-2008, 08:40 PM

103 to 49

Why am I doing this? It's not even my country...
