Have a click on this map and enjoy how the world thinks this election should go. Adjusted for population correlating to electoral votes by country, Obama seems to be winning (as of Friday morning) : 9,053 to 185. The “world” hates them some McCain. (link)
Oh and it seems the Economist has “wholeheartedly” endorsed Obama :
For all the shortcomings of the campaign, both John McCain and Barack Obama offer hope of national redemption. Now America has to choose between them. The Economist does not have a vote, but if it did, it would cast it for Mr Obama. We do so wholeheartedly: the Democratic candidate has clearly shown that he offers the better chance of restoring America’s self-confidence. But we acknowledge it is a gamble. Given Mr Obama’s inexperience, the lack of clarity about some of his beliefs and the prospect of a stridently Democratic Congress, voting for him is a risk. Yet it is one America should take, given the steep road ahead. (link)
