Who would the world elect?

[Pam]

My brother forwarded this link to me yesterday in an e-mail. It is a place where anyone can vote for who they want for president. I recognize that it isn't really representative of the whole world, but only those who have thus far received the e-mail. Interestingly, Ron Paul seems to win hands down in many countries. Apparently the world is smarter than I thought it was. He was who I wanted all along. Obviously others agreed with me.

Here's the link and you can vote and pass it on.

I think it is online too short to be representative. It shows 792 votes in Germany for Denis Kucinich and I doubt that there are 1000 people here who know who he is Just like there will not be too many US people knowing who Günther Westerwelle is

You could always do a write-in for Kinky Friedman!

It's also far too easy for someone with a tech-savvy base to rig it to look like their candidate is far, far more popular than they actually are.

In my opinion (for all it's worth), we just need to vote - regardless who it's for. If you sit on your back-side and give up your right to vote - you also give up your right to complain about who got elected! And it's usually the ones who complain the loudest that never voted in the first place.

Your opinion is worth a lot and I agree! I had thought originally that I didn't want to vote because I was not impressed with either candidate. I knew in my heart that I would wind up voting for someone in the end though. It is a privilege that we must not take for granted. I plan to be glued to the debates and watching both sides closely as the days unfold. I am, and have always been, a Sen. Biden fan. Obama definitely scored with me on his selection there. We will see what McCain has up his sleeve.
