World-wide votes in the presidential election

It would only be fair if the whole world was allowed to vote in the US election … the world at large seems to favor Kerry over Bush by a margin of 77% – 88% for Kerry, 11% for Bush.

Interestingly, both Afghanistan and Iraq are tied on this list.

Of course, in this exercise, anybody can manipulate the results of any country …

Still good fun.

Prøver lige igen…

Skulle have vidst, at du og Dalager er bloggers galore – faldt tilfældigt over Christians – osv.

Har selv lige kastet mig ud i det – meget sjovt og næsten terapeutisk. Tror dog mit publikum er begrænset til mig selv…but who cares =)

Alt vel her – jeg blev fader for en lille måned siden, så en del ting er vendt på hovedet, men alt spiller og det er skide sjovt indtil videre..! Håber alt vel hos dig/jer – hils Caroline (håber da I stadig hopper på hinanden).

Snakkes ved – jeg er at finde på http://flylikeabrick.blogspot.com – og er stadig involveret med IMV, i øvrigt (ras@imv.au.dk). Some guys never learn, it seems…

Interestingly Lars, your view lines up with Philip Greenspun’s generalised observation of non-American opinion. (And Philip doesn’t mind the odd generalisation

I’m pretty sure it’s your view, but having re-read the post I realise that you are summarising world opinion and not espousing your own opinion.

Take a look at the United States favoring Kerry by 51%!! Ridiculous by any metric.
