Well Haider did call Bush the world's #1 war criminal, though I doubt they support Obama. That's probably the undecided.

Haider also endorsed John McCain during the Parliamentary Election Campaign ...

What? So he endorses the guy who wants to 100% continue the policies of the world's #1 war criminal? Figures he's just another fascist hypocrite.

How do they conduct polls in countries like Kenya and India, where many people don't have phones?

Do other nations' votes really count? I mean, I never endorsed anyone outside my own nation in politics.

Quick Question: Why is Obama doing so well in other nations? AMerica must be the most Conservative I guess.

Yeah. Even really poor people have phones nowadays.

In fact, many African cell phone carriers have more functional capacities (bill paying, wire transfers) than US cells phones.

It's like an anecdote I heard from a professor when I was in law school.  He visited Estonia, and his host asked to see what a check looked like.  He had never seen one before, because they do "everything" electronically.  (Probably hyperbole, but the point is salient.)

The US is really quite far behind in infrastructure.
