Votes in from over 200 countries!

I´m glad too that you´re glad you live in the USA.

I'm glad you're glad she's glad!

If you are saying that one persons vote represents the entire nations collective thoughts, than THAT is very interesting and VERY scary. I am glad to live in the good ole USA!

No different with regard to the United States. One person represents us in the United Nations. One person is generally the reflection of us in the international community. (And given that that's currently GWB, that's why American's image in the international community is so poor these days.) The number of people and the rigor with which they're vetted is roughly proportional to how much their representation really matters.

Eaxactly. And believe me, most (I think I could even say all) Americans I know do not agree with GWB´s ideas and beliefs.

Taken from the webpage: "Only once. Each computer can only vote once. Yes you can clear your cookies and vote again, but we have a script(called the Psychic Monkey) that looks for multiple votes and specific voting patterns and deletes fake votes."

 

[John Smith1]

As the dems say "vote early, vote often"...they should add on "even though it's unethical and wrong, we don't care as long as our candidate wins."

Isn't that how the 2000 and 2004 elections were won?

If the Dems are "stealing the election" they learned from the best!

 

[John Smith1]

That could be one person voting 16 times. You can vote as many times as you want. Just clear your cookies and vote again!

From the FAQ:

How many times can I vote?
Only once. Each computer can only vote once. Yes you can clear your cookies and vote again, but we have a script(called the Psychic Monkey) that looks for multiple votes and specific voting patterns and deletes fake votes before we publish the results.

My dentist was telling me yesterday that the democrats already have stolen the election and they have all sorts of plans already made to take away all of our individual freedoms. He actrually believes it too!

Sad when we believe things like this before they even happen especially if they never happen - self delusion is alive and well in the USA!

If you average out all the votes, it comes to less per country than I have in my town
While I do believe the world favors an Obama presidency over a McCain, I'm certainly not relying on this as proof.

Then simply listen to the news from other countries or read the papers from other countries and you will see that the vast majority of people in other countries would vote for Obama.

Does anybody actually read what others post
I have already said that I know that the world favors Obama over McCain. I know that based on the other more scientific data.

While irrelevant in terms of choosing the President, this website shows very clearly how much cooperation and amity the two candidates can expect to receive from international partners, should they win the election.

Obama, almost ubiquitous -- and that translates into real power for America.

McCain, almost nill -- and that translates into real weakness for America.

Not at all, just the opposite. The world at large would be better served by a weaker, appeasing America. Which is what they'll get with BO and his pal Joey. No other country wants us so far out front.

If BO is elected, they win, we lose.

It's that simple.

Is it entirely out of the realm of possibility that we may just find some middle ground with the rest of the world?
Don't you think that we've had enough "us against them"?
We can be a superpower again without stomping on the entire rest of the free world.

Absolutely.

But BO is not the answer, he'll be a dismal failure, just as his pal Joey suggests.

This isn't what we are talking about. We are talking about individual votes for president. I really don't think 1-3 votes from a country necessarily reflect accurate polling statistics. I think you know that too!

And yes, I am pretty sure the world would rather see Obama win.

Sorry, I was just trying to help you find the proof for your assumption.

What does your crystal ball say about the Superbowl?

Just an observation but did anyone notice that McCain was winning in Venzuala and at something like 47% in Iraq? While I place very little credence in any poll that lets anyone vote without any verification of a true cross section of the population I found it extremely interesting that he would do so well in those two countries. One where Obama has promised to get the troops out, and another that lives under a dictitorial regime that is highly dependent on US dollars for oil?

That's really the problem with the McCain/Palin mind-set: They're always aiming for the win in win/lose, as any excessively arrogant patrician who expects to dominate on demand does. However, the world isn't like that anymore. There are strong countries all over the world now, who will not allow us to "win" unless they can "win" too. American's has a great chance of winning, and will garner better winnings from, crafting win/win scenarios, than trying to assert win/lose scenarios on others.

Yes, but it also doesn't mean that the result is likely to be the opposite of what the small number of votes indicate. The correlation isn't great, but there is a stronger correlation between the results of even very small samples and the results of the broader population than there is with the opposite of the results of the very small samples.

I would imagine that the votes from Iraq for McCain come from the American troops over there.
