In July 2008, Barack Obama gave a historic speech at Germany's Brandenburg Gate. Subsequently, John McCain attempted to show him up by visiting a German restaurant in German Village, Ohio. Conservatives lauded McCain's trip as a major coup and blasted Obama for daring to take his campaign outside the United States. Somehow an earnest visit to an ally was not supposed to hold a candle to a Disneyfied experience. No dice.
This month Economist.com embarked on an experiment; revising the rules of the American electoral college to allow the world to determine the next president of the United States. 9,875 global electoral college votes are up for grabs in this online poll. Some of the results were shocking; McCain is the front-runner in Iraq. However, Barack Obama has garnered the lion's share of the 9,800+ votes. Perhaps if McCain's strategic team had the same creativity as Senator Obama's, he'd be as popular as his opponent is across the globe.
