rd.com— "It's Obama by a landslide—except in the country in which he's actually running for president .... What is most striking is the margin of his support."

Add my name to the non-Americans who like Obama.I studied in the US for 5 years. I was there at the turn of the century. I was there when Bush was elected. I was there when 9/11 happened. I consider myself fiscally conservative and social liberal. In my mind there is only one sensible candidate in this race. The McCain campaign is like a bad joke.
But Obama is going to make the United States more like a civilized country that offers health care to all of its citizens. That's called socialism, and even thought it sounds like a good idea, we don't support it because that's a bad word in this country. In America, I do what's good for me and not what's good for my Country. All this selfishness has worked out really well so far, everyone has figured out how to become rich and the economy couldn't be better.
Since this seems to be turning into a role-call of sorts, I'll throw my name into the hat. Canadian-American living in South Korea. Yes, I support Obama. In fact, I'm faxing in my vote (yeah, you can do that) next week. And yes, I've been reading up on the candidates positions in depth since the primaries.

Heres 70% of obama supporters. They don't know what he stands for, they just see him as a good speaker and likeable person.

Only until they realize how much it affects their economy too.
