Students of my university (American University of Sharjah) will be watching live election returns in the main auditorium on a huge screen...
America is being watched more closely then ever before... I expect there will be MANY students watching during the day.
BTW: I heard michael moore is doing commentary for the BBC tonight.

2. Watching and trembling like it's 1938 |
|
Because that's EXACTLY what year it is, metaphorically-speaking.

4. My God how hard I have fought the past four years from the States |
|
and here...
I ran for the legislature in fl in 2002... I fought tooth and nail as an activist and campaign organizer.
Losing is not an option... I can't face myself or my students...
I won't be able to look my Iraqi students in the eye anymore...
PLEASE!!!
And yes, I voted over three weeks ago in FL...

Wow. That must be absolutely excruciating. How is the mood where you are? I can only imagine the kind of global diversity your University must have. Do you ever get into political conversations with the students?

14. I remember very well, JC |
|
You gave 'em hell -- you surely did. John Hope all is well with you -- I guarantee a Dem victory in Saginaw County (MI) tomorrow -- it's all I (and my buddies) can do.

8. Germany is with you, America! |
|
Like most other countries around the world, the Germans are overwhelmingly pro- Kerry.
Best wishes to all of you and to a happy ending of this day.
I've already put the Champagne into the fridge, so don't let me down, folks! ;)

9. Yes we are - it's all over German tv... |
|
Last night they had an hour long special about American politics (McCarthy, Watergate, Lewinsky - some of our finest moments). Husband's co-workers keep asking about it - it's very important to so many people. I'll never forget the hatred felt towards * during the start of the Iraq war. Now, I've got my US flag out and I'm fianlly proud again!

13. Just saw a piece on MSNBC about world coverage. AMAZING |
|
so many nations have media members covering this thing live. they really know their future is tied up with the U.S. and by far the majority fall in line wanting a strong internationalist, Kerry, in office.
LeMond actually broke from the tradition and endorsed Kerry with signal that a Kerry presidency would help with repairing US/European relations
