I am slightly surprised that British citizens are is as supportive of Obama as they are. I think it is fairly obvious that Obama wants to focus on our relationship with continental Europe as opposed to the UK. I suppose after the Bush-Blair years...that may be a relief for some.

I think it's more... they don't pay attention to anything the candidates actually say.  They just know that McCain is from the same party as Bush, and Obama is a nice speaker... and basically a historic candidate.  I beleive there is a bunch of stuff out there for Obama in random countries that are just about his charisma and nothing to do with any policy.

I mean... what does the US person think of Gordon Brown.  (Who's Gordon Brown?)

I'd be interested in seeing the Obama vs McCain split in Africa.

I know it sounds odd... but Bush as i recall is actually thought of fondly over there.

I seem to recall someone calling bush "The best President in the United states in regards to Africa ever."

McCain might be polling high with that group of non-voters, despite Obama being black.
