The world votes in the American Elections; did someone slip something into Macedonia's coffee?
Nah, the FYROM has been screwy for quite some time. My dad has been mistakenly labeled as the President before while there.

Frankly the fact that it's actually called that alone should be enough for anyone to see that something isn't right with that country. 
I would, but the IB finally ripped my soul out yesterday, and I can no longer feel joy.

Did someone say let's talk about video games? I answer the call!
Has anyone here ever finished Nethack? The last time I went deep (though not quite deep, seeing that I only reached the 2nd Sokoban level), I was rubbing un-bought lamps in the lamp seller's shop in that town-ish level, which loosed the wrath of a grumpy genie upon mine character, promptly sending him to deleted savefile hell.
Also I am going to play American McGee's Alice for the first time ever with little knowledge of what to expect above a glossing over of Wikipedia and without a proper mouse now. Wheee

That would give me more reason. Nothing is better than a good face to face debate.

The best I ever did (on my 86th try) was to go all the way down, get the amulet of Yendor, fight off the wizard at least ten times while going up...
And finally 'escaping' with a fake amulet
EDIT : Also a question, if I may, to the McCain voters : What do you think after seeing the results of Masada's link (in which the whole world, save FYROM and Georgia, would vote for Obama) ? And don't tell me something along the lines of : "gtfo, you can't have an opinion since you're not American".
Seriously, isn't this some kind of hint, for you, that there is definitely something wrong with the republicans ?
I am not a McCain voter, and I think that Obama's popularity among the people of the rest of the world is an indicator that electing him is a Good Idea. I think that many Americans, however, would object to people from other countries telling them how to vote. It's kind of an interference that most of us resent, no matter how hypocritical it is.
Not that people from other countries aren't entitled to their opinions - they are, obviously - but I think that a lot of people would get pissed at said other opinions being foisted upon them.

Alternatively, and I am not taking a position here, it might mean that something is definitely wrong with the world and its perception of America and American politics.

The rest of the world isn't looking out for America's future. Only we americans are. This should be the reason you DON'T want Obama to be in office. Because he is obviously good for the rest of the world, which isn't always good for america. They're the low men on the totem pole, wanting to rise up. We're the high men on the totem pole, who need to stay there. We should never, in my oppinion, base our election on what the rest of the world thinks... They don't care about us.

Sorry, I wasn't listening...
I have a question, what generation of NESers am I in?
It's in many of our interests that the US does well, and the US probably will do better if its elected government can hold the support of people throughout the world.

If world politics was a zero sum game, then the world's support of Obama would be an extremely compelling reason not to vote for him. Of course, the world is not a zero sum game, and it's getting farther from being one all the time, but it's important to point out that oftentimes the best thing for America is not the best thing for the world as a whole. I still don't prefer McCain to Obama, but I seem to have to keep pointing out that the reasons most often cited for Obama's supremecy aren't the most compelling ones.

"Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment"? Or is it that tax thing?
It is the American way.

I'm just not sure why we have to tell the world to shove it -- deliberately antagonize it, really... Ah well, I guess I'm just a liberal weenie.
