Yup, Obama is
very popular here in Europe. That's probably also partly due to the media attention over here and partly to a general antipathy towards the Republican party (which IMHO has suffered a lot under GWB in the public opinion).
I personally think that McCain isn't as bad as some people over here think he is - at least he probably still would've been much more competent than Dubya. But Palin as a vice president is an absolute no-go.
Let's hope that Obama does a good job... and that he doesn't fall prey to some racist psycho (or to a CIA conspiracy
).
Best of luck to you guys
