The world's presidential election?

US policy affects every citizen on the planet, but far too few of us will have a say in who gets to the White House

There were few pleasures to be had following Bob Dole's doomed presidential campaign in 1996, but one was the unique brand of anti-charm adopted by the candidate. I was once on the receiving end of it myself, during a stop in New Hampshire. Dole had just inspected a factory and a huddle of reporters gathered to ask some questions. I was only three words into mine when the would-be president cut me off. He'd heard my accent and decided there was no point giving me the time of day.

"No votes in Liverpool," he snapped, before calling on the man from the Kansas City Star.

1. How rude of Dole!

Why am I not surprised? My apologies on behalf of the more moderate/logical/friendly part of this country.

2. I've been thinking!!!!!!!!

The world does have a huge interest in the outcome of this election. As an American I was wondering if we could elicit the help of the world to oust Bush. Get us all of the evidence we need to mount a huge blog outleting of proof of Bushes war crimes etc.....
We could start a landslide against him with the world's help. We could pound our message to the media until they had no choice but to listen to us. What do you suggest?
