if the world could vote

Hi I know this is a little late on the topic, but this is about the election. On the website http://www.economist.com/vote2008/ it has stuff on how the world feels about the election. On website there is a map of the world, to show witch country is Obama/McCain. It lights up with blue and those 4 (out of 195) countries who are in favor of McCain, barely want him. Also it states “All democratic systems have their quirks, and America's is no exception” in one of its articles. The electoral college has been tried to reform over 700 times. It causes candidates to focus on swing states instead whole country. And this causes worry for the world, because they were worried that McCain would win. Why would they care??? The president of the united states is the most powerful person in the world. But if the world could vote, they would obviously choose Obama, and hopefully they got there wish. The whole world watched as we voted, I wish they could only have a say too.
