"Oww, Owww ... my pinky got pricked by this thingy!"
I suspect that I know the answer to this already, but could it be that Europeans are so easy to impress/fool? Is your city ‘hot’ for 0bama?
By the way, just in case you’ve failed to notice, we’re not thrilled about McCain, either.

Good question. My newspaper says the same today, quoting Churchill ("the Germans are either at your throat..."), and they distinguish between foreign and local politicians. Germans fell in love with Hasselhoff (not for his music, and his alcohol problem was not much known here, but for Knight Rider and Baywatch. As a child of the 80´s, I was fascinated by Knight Rider as well. Germans fell in love for Al Gore (the brave and unjust loser of 2000 fights for our planet), and now for Obama. Definitely at least 2 points against us! :-)
Is your city hot for 0bama?
Not really. There are many who prefer him over McCain, just because they feel stressed when they hear tough words, and they know, they won´t get those from Obama. But it´s largely the media creating this hype. I say I can judge this, since I heard many of friends, colleagues expressing the same view.
