Bob and I voted early--I actually mailed in my ballot in September, right after I received it. I'm not at liberty to say who Bob voted for, but I voted for Barack, as most Germans expected me to.
Most Germans, friends as well as people I've just recently met, find it hard to believe that anyone in the US would vote for McCain. They see him as an extension of George Bush with his poor economic and foreign policies. And as for Sarah Palin, they roll their eyes a lot. They see her for what she is--inexperienced. They cannot fathom that this combination may be the US's next president and vice-president.
And yet, I fear that they may win, and then McCain will die in office, because he is old and being the US president is a high-pressure job, and then Sarah Palin will be president, which is a very, very scary thought.
