Americans vote for optimism... and the candidate they would invite to a barbecue, November 4, 2008, Yorkshire Post.

Will Obama Be A European?

Obama May Not be Bush, But He Won’t Be What Europe Expects, Yorkshire Post, October 27, 2008. "In the presidential contest, Americans are leaning towards Barack Obama, but they remain divided. John McCain is the underdog – though as Churchill once remarked, every dog has his day, and some days last longer than others. There are few such divisions in Europe: it wants Obama to win. Not everyone agrees, but almost. In September, a BBC poll – fair and balanced, undoubtedly – found that France, Germany, Britain, and Italy were among the most optimistic that an Obama presidency would improve their relations with the US."
