Believe me. Do not forget that I'm a nationalized American. I'm in touch with people of other countries everyday. None of them is that important. Believe me.

They must be having difficulty getting their chads to hang properly. :D :D :D <blockquote>All this probably many Americans do not see it, but the true is that for the first time in the American history the whole world have the eyes opened looking on what is going to happen in this elections.</blockquote> I think the world has always watched, just like we watch elections in some other countries (especially England). For example, I think lots of non-Americans watched the 2004 election (Bush's attempt at a second term), the 1980 election (Reagan vs. Carter), the 1976 election (Carter vs. Ford), the 1964 election (after Kennedy was assassinated), etc. It's just that not every election is quite so interesting.

We were obligated to vote in the elections or we would have lost our jobs. And I remember how at the end of the elections the authorities were publishing the rates of participation that were always more than 97% and how they compared always with USA % of participation in the elections which were always around 50%. This year I felt proud to be on that line and stand for 4.5 hours to vote, no because I was afraid of losing my job or because I had a police car in the front of my house to obligate me to vote but because I believed that this year we have an election where we have the opportunity to make the difference. All this probably many Americans do not see it, but the true is that for the first time in the American history the whole world have the eyes opened looking on what is going to happen in this elections. No matter who wins we are going to have the first woman in the Vice presidency or the first African-American as president. And that's something that 4 years ago I could not believe that could happen here in our country. Many things have changed in the last 8 years and you can see that in this Presidential Elections.

It´s like more people believe than in this elections there for sure are going to be some changes.
