If Obama wins, when it is called . . . the WHOLE WORLD will rejoice with us.

[Lex]

People all over the world will be staying up late, or getting up early, to see what happens.

This is a world wide event, even though it is up to us to make it happen.

How cool is that?

1. brown people who have oil under their feet might feel a little safer that they might live

[Lex]

2. time for Bush's "crusade" to kill the innocents to come to an end

and for Obama to cooperate with other countries to route out any terrorists and stop dropping bombs on innocent families.

[monmouth]

3. Watch the global markets and the US markets rise on Wednesday.....n/t

[Lex]

5. Confidence restored in the direction of the US

will do so--I believe that too, monmouth.

[Rocknrule]

4. Agreed. Someone has to put a stop to the Republicans' "fuck the world" attitude

[crossroads]

6. Yes, they will! My friend from Norway absolutely loves Obama!

Claims everyone is pulling for him!

7. Watch the media give an inordinate amount of time to the naysayers who will say the Obama is

an illegitimate president because of Acorn. Mark my words.

I sure hope I am wrong. The republicans and corporate media do not play fair or nice. I do not think they will lose gracefully.

[MadMaddie]

33. No doubt they will bring all that crap up and it is our duty to shut

them down and demand that the Media do their job once the election is over. That is they need to report on all of the other news they have managed to ignore.

9. My friends in Madrid will be watching on CNN International. They are planning an Obama breakfast

because whent they call it for Obama at 10-11 PM it will be about 5 AM in Spain. They will pull an all-nighter to watch the returns.

[janx]

14. On Nov. 4, 2004, I and a friend were in Madrid watching

CNN International! It's amazing how different the coverage is from that of CNN here.

We stayed up so late--those problems with Ohio, and we were eight hours ahead. We didn't find out about the tragic outcome until we were on a plane coming back to the States.

This outcome will be different!

[electionwatcher]

10. We certainly will!

As a Brit closely following the US election, I can say without doubt that my country for one will be extremely happy if, as if expected Obama becomes the 44th President of the United States. I will be staying up to watch coverage of the results. We are 5 hours ahead of US EST so if the early results indicate an Obama victory it will still be in the early hours of Wednesday for me. I don't care though, it will be more than worth it!

[romantico]

12. Here is how I see it

Obama winning will be like the finale of Return of the Jedi.

[Rocknrule]

27. That's what I said!

[Lex]

15. I hope CNN International or some station carries lots of reaction stories

from all over.

Billy Bragg was here locally (Durham, NC) yesterday and played a concert for a Get Out the Vote thing and he was all into the election here in the US, following everything closely. He said: "The is a Public Service Announcement. Don't send us another arsehole please!" He was great.

My pic of him:

[anakie]

17. I bet he had one or two interesting comments

he has always called it how it is.

Obama would get over 80 percent of votes from Australia. The results should be called early afternoon Wednesday over here. Bottle of bubbly is already cooling down. The world will celebrate Obama's win. You all just have to make it happen. We had our moment last November when we got rid of Howard after 13 years; it is now your turn.


Peace

[Lancer]

11. The celebration will go on for several days. The celebratory mood

will last weeks! I hope the networks and cable are setting up cameras in cities all over the world (like they do on New Year's Eve sometimes) so we can watch the wave of hope and change ripple across the planet!

If all goes as it looks like it will, Tuesday November 4, 2008 will truly be the happiest day of my life.

[Rocknrule]

13. I imagine it's gonna look something like this:

[Sensitivity]

16. I am just watching for NATIONAL HOLIDAYS to be declared in some other countries -- while we go back

to work.

[codjh9]

18. Exactly! And you'd think the Repukes might learn something from the fact that much of the rest of

the world wants Obama too, but they're too 'America-first'/insular/stupid/closed-minded to figure that out.

[Rocknrule]

26. Their "fuck the world" attitude pisses me off

Whether we like it or not, we need to have good relations with the rest of the world. The Republicans' constant flipping the bird to the rest of the world doesn't help.

[Lumpsum]

19. .

I have friends in Germany and Italy who say the Obama support out there is through the roof. It's good to know we'll once again be looked at as "the good guys" once Obama wins.

[ROh70]

20. It will feel like the end of a world war. This election is HUGE.

[Zorra]

21. Maybe the largest worldwide outpouring of sheer happiness and relief EVER. n/t

[TooRaLoo]

22. I keep thinking about this and it's overwhelming!

Off to The Greatest with you.

[Erin Elizabeth]

23. This is going to sound weird, but I love Christmas.

And Christmas 2004 SUCKED. Well not completely, I mean I didn't let things overshadow our holidays, but still they would have been a LOT nicer had Kerry won.

This Christmas? Is going to rock the house.

That's all.

[Road Scholar]

24. It's because the whole world will be affected by this. It will

mean the end of a tyrant America and the return to civility. I'm betting the world stock markets will begin to recover soon after he is declared the winner. Tuesday will be a red letter day in world history.

[Road Scholar]

25. MSNBC says there will be full coverage in 78 countries

on election day.



Pretty cool huh?

[Lex]

32. Oh that's cool. I didn't know that!

(thanks dad! )

[Northofyou]

28. ******You betcha we want Obama!!!!*****

If McCain wins this thing, I am never ever setting foot again in the US. I will sell my boat I have on Lake Champlain and move on...

Since I still want to sail, go to New York, visit your beautiful National Parks, go vote and help get Obama elected!!!

[europegirl4jfk]

29. German TV has special coverage on election night

I have German TV here in France. And I will watch CNN International as well. And I'll come to DU of course!

I'm working from home and I will sleep in on Tuesday morning so that I can stay up all night to celebrate with you guys in the US.

Obama - healing the world! It's just beautiful!

[Clio the Leo]

30. I fully expect to see people dancing in the streets all over the world...

... it will be a thing of beauty.

[Lex]

34. This is what I hope too.

Can't wait to see it.

[dorktv]

31. It certainly will show that America is starting to grow up.

And no more need for those "we are sorry" websites.
