Honestly I've been wondering why Europeans care so much about our electiuons. seems like we have more european democrats than american ones.
Not a big deal, but we just don't see the reverse, Americans could care less about European elections for the most part.
Sadly, I don't think they are jokes. Why would anyone join a forum like this with the sole purpose of making jokes?
As a British citizen I am concerned what happens in the US, since it has a large impact on the UK. America catches a cold, the world sneezes, as the saying goes. For this reason I would prefer a Democrat to win the 2004 election. Democrats I believe are less isolationist, more internationalist and generally foster better international relations. This has to be a good thing. This is probably why pretty much all foreigners would prefer to see Dean in the white house than Bush. Bush just doesn't cut it with me. He comes across as a bit of a hick, no offense intended. He is more of a hunting, gun-toting, Bubba than an international statesmen. As someone said earlier this makes the British feel very uneasy! The vast majority of Britons distrust or have negative opinions of Bush.
