View from Canada: If Obama had been put on our ballot on Oct. 14, 08, he would have won a great majority. Instead we have a minority government lead by this notorious, Bush's clone, neo-con Harper. The reason he won was a very weak candidate for liberals (our dems) named Stephan Dion (can anyone imagine a coutry's prez or prime minister named Dion?)This guy is a professor type with personality of "all thumbs"-super geek. On top of it Harper used the worse type of negative ads against this poor decent guy. In one, they had a bird drop his dropping on this Dion's shoulder. That was the least offensive one.
All is not lost for us, he has minority government that can fall anytime, Dion will resign on Monday and Mishael Ignatieff will be chosen as new leader of liberals. He is as close as someone can get to Obama. In next election ( one year plus) Harper will be trashed by this guy and neo-cons will never raise their ugly head.
By the way, the main reason Harper called 14. Oct. election was the fact that he was terified by possibility of Obama victory in Nov. If that happend no way this Harper would have been elected, even with Dion against him. Many think he lost in fact, for he was going for majority governmenet (had minority from last time) and did not get it even with such a weak oponent.
We hope American people will not make the same mistake and elect McCain the neo-con. With Obama you will have a chance to turn USA around both domestically and Internationally. Don't throw away and miss this opportuinity. Four more years of the same is a looooooooooong time.
