PARIS If the world could cast a vote in the United States presidential election, John Kerry would beat George W. Bush by a landslide, according to a poll released on Wednesday that is described as the largest sample of global opinion on the race. . "It is absolutely clear that John Kerry would win handily if the people of the world could vote," said Steve Kull, director of The Program on International Policy Attitudes of the University of Maryland, a co-sponsor of the survey. "It is rather striking that just one in five people surveyed around the world support the re-election of President Bush."

Well the world doesn't get to vote, at least until Monseur Kerry and his ilk succeed in turning over U.S. sovereignty to the U.N.

LOL!

All the more reason to vote for President Bush. Most of the rest of the world is nothing but stinking hell holes anyway.

Hmm, and how many billions of muslims are there in the world today?

Good thing France doesn't get a vote. Talk about a worthless poll!

If the world could cast a vote in the United States presidential election...

A pack of wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.

If they get to vote in our elections, do we get to vote in theirs?

If the world cast a vote the US would become unarmed and neutered.

I'll bet the poll was nearly the same for Reagan/Mondale.

There should have been another question in the poll. Would you want Americans to vote in your country's leader?

Socialist/jihadist/evil-doer wet dream.

Children don't get to vote on the time that their parents send them to bed, either. I think we can all see the similarities there, can't we?

"Talk about a worthless poll!"

I disagree. It shows what we're up against.

[So Cal Rocket]

So, let's see.

Bush wins in 2004 with 320 EVs to Kerry's 218.

But if we add in the Electoral Votes from France, Germany, Switzerland and Belgium, Kerry's total would now add up to 218.

The post on FR are getting more useless by the day!

"Would you want Americans to vote in your country's leader?"

I think it's too dark in there to do that.
