Hillary Clinton fans are anxiously awaiting the official launch of her campaign...

They’re ready for Hillary … in Denmark. The former first lady is gaining a cult following among some Europeans, who are preparing unofficial Clinton campaign parties, crafting online images in her honor, and hawking their own stump swag online.

“Danes for Hillary” is picking up steam as Scandinavia’s very own version of Hillaryland. “It’s important to have support from as many people as possible,” said Mira Borggreen, 32, of Odense, Denmark’s third-largest city. “I was asked at one point, ‘Why do you care about an American candidate? It’s not someone you can elect or vote for.’ But for me, as a Dane, it’s very important who is the president of the U.S.”

They are right! It’s important for the world, who the president of the U.S. is.

I see a lot of support there also. And of course a little grumbling.

I don't twitter so thanks for letting us know. I think that DU's Hillary haters are but a small minority in the real world.
