If you don't think the world is paying attention, think again.

1. They're paying more attention than most Americans.

There's not much apathy outside of our borders.

This is big big stuff, all over this globe. I wish Americans realized this.

4. I'm just amazed at the thoroughness of the European press's coverage.

They've got more angles covered than most American papers.

2. Very cool - thanks for the post!

3. I hope they are, because we are finally going to demonstrate to them that we have not lost

our sanity.

We can undo the shame of 2004.

5. I'm going crazy!!!

Maybe I should get back to my household chores and check here later!

6. It's all over the Canadian news

7. We are going to take care of business this time around, pray not stolen again.

8. The whole world is watching! The whole world is watching!

The whole world is watching!

9. I've tuned in to the French TV channel I get through Dish Network

They're devoting their air time to special coverage of the U.S. election, with special reports, talking heads, and type of show you would expect in the U.S. I've never seen this amount of attention in France to a U.S. election.

18. And French TV is discussing the intense interest in this election in Africa

They're interviewing political figures in several nations in Africa. There's apparently absolute euphoria across the continent of Africa among the common people over this election.

10. Election Night Special on German TV

It's 25 minutes to midnight here in Europe and my 81 year old mother is still watching. Tonight she won't go to bed soon, I guess.

[BurtWorm]

11. Hopefully we'll know pretty soon if her wait was worth it.

:bounce:

16. It's gonna be a long night in this household here, too.

;)

[codjh9]

12. Well hell YEAH I think they're paying attention. The US has a huge amount of influence, no matter

whether for good or bad. And we have a lot of used-to-be-friends out there hoping we do the RIGHT THING, too.

[Call Me Wesley]

15. Here's another:

And yes, the World watches this one closely for obvious reason.

17. ROFL @ the russian headline

"eight years of hell are over"

not if McCain wins, it won't be over.

[nichomachus]

23. Well, they're pretty consistently anti-Bush in a reverse Rupert Murdoch kind of way

[expatriate]

19. In Australia, our economy took a belt along with America's.

Unfortunately, what happens to America affects the rest of the world. I wish it otherwise, but that's how it is - so the world is very much concerned with what happens today, even more so for countries that McCain and his ilk would consider ripe for invading.

I've had hundreds of people here coming into my shop and telling me that they are rooting for Obama. They're always visibly relieved when they find that I voted for him.

[Dem_4_Life]

20. Very cool. thanks.

[BrklynLiberal]

21. Off to the greatest. The world is watching....

:thumbsup: :hi:

[nichomachus]

22. A friend is in London on business

He said all the cabbies were questioning him to make sure he voted. Almost to a person, they told him everyone had to vote to get the GOP out after all the damage they had done.

He said the election is all anyone is talking about.

24. K&R Thanks

(BTW thought for a second your name was buttworm :rofl: )

25. Mr. LIW and I were speaking to a longtime acquaintance of ours, a French national

(he owns a wine shop where we went for lunch today), and he said the American elections are a hot topic in Europe.

26. Lots Of Interest In Cardiff, Wales

I heard on the radio earlier today that they are putting up a big screen in Cardiff city centre, to show the BBC election coverage through the night. Normally they only do that for REALLY important stuff like rugby matches ;) - but I've never known them to put a screen up overnight before.
