A new BBC World Service poll surveyed people in 22 countries and found that, in every one of them, Democratic nominee Barack Obama was favored over Republican candidate John McCain. On average, 49 percent would like to see Obama prevail, while only 12 percent prefer McCain, according to the survey of 22,531 adult citizens of the 22 countries. The rest offered no preference.

I get the feeling, at this point, that McCain is bound to kick Barry’s butt. Most Americans don’t give a shit what the Europeans think, and reading headlines like this just opens up that can of worms every time.
