Anyway, it doesn't really matter how we think about it, it's America's election and whoever wins, the problems he will face will be very difficult. So you better elect somebody with a brain, and not a puppy on a spring like the last one.

Obama has a brain. We just don't know what he is thinking with it.

At any rate, I'm pleased Old Europe is looking forward to an Obama presidency.

Here, we can't wait for Neville Chamberlain to return as British PM. That worked out really well. I think he and Obama will get along marvelously.

This post from your old time Belgian buddy. Still interested in politics, I see. I must say the number of radical neoconservatives is decreased dramatically over the years, if I read this thread.

Comment ca va? It is good to hear from you. Yes, politics are still interesting for me and I see one of America's neos already has responded to your post. There may be less of them but they are virulent as when you posted here.

Here in Europe, everybody is hoping for an Obama win, but after the last two elections, we are very prudent. Obama has much support here, and surprisingly, he has support in very different parties. From social democrats to right wing, more business oriented parties.

I know......my German friends actually watched the debates. There are many people who want him to win tomorrow. Let's hope that happens.
