in the American Presidential election!
Well, sort of.
Those 16 votes? Georgia, because McCain has been rather more truculent towards the Russians. Some say there’s not much difference between the candidates, but apparently the Georgians disagree! Macedonia, because Obama has supported a resolution taking Greece’s side in the Great Name Debate. That hasn’t attracted much attention in the US, but it certainly has in Macedonia. (Why? Remember, Obama is from Chicago. Large Greek-American population. Macedonians, not so many.)
Otherwise, it’s… pretty consistent. Wonder why?
In the US Obama is polling 80%…
It’s the opinion of the Economist’s readers. Nothing more. (see Yannick’s comment, too)
or maybe because Obama will support sanity instead of insanity … your pick.
Put me down for 363 electoral votes for the big O. Should I open up a predictions/US elections thread?
(Note that I’m Doug Merrill not Doug Muir.)
Andorra is leaning McCain too. Any ideas on that one?
