I decided to N 8 my own city's newspaper with the stupidest pro-Obama article I have seen.

What would happen if the entire world could vote in our election? One guess

By Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist

Wednesday, October 8, 2008

The entire world is, apparently, full of whiny no-good commie liberals.

It's true. This is the only logical conclusion, the only way you can possibly parse the piles of (largely unscientific, but still pretty damn convincing) numbers and data and full-blown emotional consciousness now pouring in from all over the world, pumping our little presidential election full of all sorts of cosmic meaning and profundity and oh-my-God-can-it-be-true.

Check that: Maybe it's not the only way to parse it. But if you're a hard-core McCainite and/or are under some sort of unfortunate, chemically-induced delusion that Sarah Palin is just exactly the sort of dangerously harebrained, folksy, winking, nonsensical political confection we all really need right now, well, you might be more than a bit peeved to learn that the entire world has already cast its vote for our next president.

And of course, the world wants Obama.

Uh, it's lists the US as 81% Obama and 19% McCain.... Perhaps if the world consisted only of well-read economically conservative, socially liberal capitalists then the world would elect Obama.

"91% of Iran wants Obama." Has Palin used this yet to whip the crowds into a fervor?

no its true. I saw it on the 6oclock canadian news. america now knows that the majority of everyone else in the world supports obama and americans can vote mccain if they choose but they know that they will have to 'pay a price' if they do.

i don't know what kind of price you will have to pay though seriously. Personally i was shocked that mccain is about to criminalize abortion if he gets into power. man i am just glad that in canada that there is still a freedom of choice.
