Of course that global vote is nowhere near representative.
I'm convinced that much of Obama's landslide lead on that page is simply due to the facts that...
a) McCain's voters are a lot less likely to visit the site in the first place.
and
b) Internationally, this is not so much a political decision but a popularity contest. And in that regard, Obama just appears as the more likable person.

Also many people in those countries have no access to the Internet.
Just voted! What a relief. Now we just have to push through the Election Day coverage and we can get the federal government rolling again, whoever wins!
Plus, nifty sticker-for free! w00t!

Almost - but he's still in office for another few months.

Oh is he really? I'm not really following the politics other than what people mention aloud. He's almost there though.

Yup.
Dude, my state tied 50-50. How often does that happen? O.o;;
They should make us purple, not grey.

He's won the election, but the inauguration is not until 20 Jan 2009, which is when he actually becomes president.

*checks* The Electoral went to Obama, but popular vote was split straight down the middle.

I left at 5:30 in the morning so I could get to my polling place.  Zero wait! (At least, from the time they opened the doors to the time I voted. I ended up waiting a total of 10 minutes. One of my friends was in line for 2 hours.)

I'm bummed I wasn't able to get on here during the election. I was one of the mopes crying with joy when Obama gave his speech. Me and my mom, we're rediculous!
My state is still re-counting for out senatorial election, between Al Franken and Norm Coleman. Norm tried to say there was no need for a re-count, he was"obviously" the winner, but I wouldn't say winning by an alleged 477 votes makes you an obvious winner in a state of several million people.
