...the US, but the entire world. Can anyone remember a time when it literally seemed like the whole world was so interested in American politics and pulling to one guy. This is amazing. We owe it ourselves to make it happen.

millions of people around the World who have suffered at the hands of the "Minions of Republicanism".
Everyone, even including the rank and file Republicans, can start to rebuild their mental health back to what it was thirty or forty years ago, when day to day life was much saner.

10. What will be the reaction if he loses? I've heard some big cities are preparing for riots.
No matter how much Obama is up in the polls, I don't trust the republican machine. I remember what happened to Max Cleland.

prepare for the worst. It's a smart move. In fact, no matter who wins, I can see the possibility of violence tomorrow night.

14. Never! It's NEVER happened before..........
I saw a show on the ABC international channel this morning early. People in Hungary, even... are making peach and apricot jam with Obama's picture on it... why apricot jam??? Because the word "BARACK" in Hungarian means "apricot"!

Cool huh??

17. Spent four hours in the car yesterday with...
two Germans and a South Korean. I don't know if anyone in the US really has any clue how people are HOPING around the world that Obama wins. The desire was palpable from my travel companions. I spent this past weekend with these folks, plus an Israeli, another German, two British women and two Mexicans. Everyone wanted to talk about the elections (once they realized I wasn't a right wing nut job). Hope, hope HOPE was on their lips.
