More than four in 10 French and Germans would like to see Democratic candidate and former first lady Hillary Clinton elected US president in 2008, a survey by a Canadian pollster showed on Wednesday.
The Angus Reid institute also found Clinton to be the preferred candidate of British, Italian and Canadian respondents to its poll, which asked them to choose between eight of the US politicians running for the nomination.
The New York senator, who also leads the domestic polls for her party's nomination to run for the White House -- aiming to become the first female US president ever -- was most popular in Germany, with 45.5 percent support.
Her support stood at 44 percent in France, 39 percent in Canada, 35 percent in Italy and 29 percent in Britain. The 5,075 respondents were offered a choice of four Democratic and four opposition Republican candidates.
Clinton's nearest challenger for the Democrat nomination, Senator Barack Obama, was second most popular among Canadians, Germans and the French, while Italians and Britons preferred Republican Rudolf Giuliani, the ex-mayor of New York.
But these two candidates had much smaller backing than Clinton -- Obama had highest support in Canada with 13 percent, while Giuliani had his top score of 17 percent in Italy, the home country of his grandparents.
The polling institute said Clinton, wife of former president Bill Clinton, had such a high rating because she is the best-known candidate.
Other candidates, such as Democrat John Edwards, third in domestic US polls, and Republican John McCain and Mitt Romney, had less than three percent backing from those surveyed.
Half of respondents in Britain did not know which candidate they would back. This figure was lowest in Canada at just over a quarter.
Debates and campaigns are already underway in the United States, with the first party primary votes to select nominees for the presidential race due to start in early 2008.
Thanks, Europe. But we’ve had self-determination for 231 years.
Get back to us when you can.
All of old Europe, has the Stockholm Syndrome.
This poll pretty much proves that Mrs. Clinton is NOT the person we want as president.
All it has to be is a liberal, and Eurowinnies will fall over themselves voting for them. No matter which socialist it is, they cannot help themselves when it comes to voting for free stuff.
Sso what? Can they vote in our election? Sure, we know they are socialists over there, that’s why its such a mess.
Of course they want Hillary. In their minds, a bad American President is good for them.
The backing of the Europeans and world dictators sure didn’t do Jean Kerri any good in 2004.
Likewise, it will be a millstone around Her Heinous’s neck in 2008.
Go Fidel! Go Euro-Elites! PLEASE make a big deal out of your “support”! PLEASE get caught giving her money!

What price for the still Free (that’s US) to pay now, I wonder..?
Don’t YOU..?

Europeans must like politicians with a extensive list of “dead” associates and numerous corruption links. Nothing like an evil, corrupt politician to fix what ails you.
Attention Europe: We don’t give a $#!& what you think!
This information needs to be shouted from the rooftops until the American people awake from their brainwashed stupor. Thanks to the MSM, morally-bankrupt Liberal and RINO political morons/traitors in DC, and Liberal public education propagandists. We have two or three generations of brainwashed Liberal robots that have to be shaken into reality before our enemies knock at the door of this American Twilight Zone.
It could, and should, also be restated that 6 out of 10 do not want to see Hillary as President. Many Europeans are socialists as is Hillary. Of course they would want a socialist as President of the US. Compared to the US, their economy is in the tank and they want us there with them. Hillary would accomplish that.
I remember Rush talking about the Europeans’ desire for Bill Clinton to be POTUS; “We can roll him.”
Why post in a europe thinks... threat then ?
well that settles it. Let’s just put her in now. (barf)
Let's review, shall we? Running under its own Constitution and laws, the US has far outstripped Europe in economic development, quality of health care, level of general education. And they want to tell us how to run our lives?
Not bloody likely.

What’s new?! Castro, EuroSocialist, and the Devil support Hillary. Big Deal!
Not if Jerry Lewis was running...
This poll is bogus. The great people of France just elected a staunch conservative, with 54% of the vote I believe.
