Ian - I don't blame you for being worried when they have someone like Bush in power.
I am finding the US campaigns interesting, but I'm not sure which one I'd vote for.
Cath,
Bush worries me immensely. I don't know enough about US politics to make an informed choice.
I have very shallowly based it upon impressions of the individual.
But the candidates are effectively highly trained actors!
They know how to project the right image.
Without knowing policies or anything, it would be interesting to hear how non-US citizens would vote form around the world based upon the media we see which is not all US-based but has gone through local channels and journalists.
Ian - that is a good point. No wonder so many former actors go into politics over there.
Plus the campaigns cost them millions too, so they need to have friends with deep pockets.
I guess a lot of people will vote for Hilary because she's a woman and Obama because he's black.
I was only 9 when Thatcher got in, and I can remember really wanting her to win because she was a woman. In fact, I got so excited and nervous as the night of the election went on that I puked in my bed!
Many people deny making choices based on such simple things, but I bet a lot of them do.
I think that the world should definitely have a say in who gets to be American president. I really get the impression sometimes that people outside the US have a better idea of whats going on there than actual voting US citizens.
I'd vote Obama and I will continue to search for an online voting system for people of the world affected by the decisions of the White House.
