That odd comment by McCain in the last presidential debate called out for some photoshopping. Really, it did. The more I read about and listen to him and his running candidate, the more I hope and pray that the good citizens of the United States will give Obama a resounding endorsement.

Hopefully the website Sorry Everybody won’t have to become active again when the votes are all tallied and a winner announced.

(For anyone not familiar with who is in the photograph. It is Lou and Andy from a TV Series called Little Britain which airs on the BBC in the UK, and now on HBO in the USA. Andy is the guy sitting down (now McCain!) and is wheeled around by his friend Lou. Andy’s catchphrase is “I want that one”. Now you know!)

The Economist are trying to determine what way the world would vote in the US elections.

I think, not surprisingly, it is looking like a landslide for Obama at the moment – look at all the countries in blue. Ireland has 8 electoral vote, and of the votes cast so far the result is 16% McCain and 84% Obama.

The most striking thing for me about the world map is all the white – the countries that have not registered enough votes for the colour of their country to change either red or blue. Regrettably, it’s all too familiar division on the world map.

Voting closes on November 1^st, when a winner will be declared. Doubt if Paddy Power will take bets on the result.
