If the event below appeals to you, go to the Facebook event page and join, and then invite all your people to join � especially if they�re in a different city. This is not an �organized� event � but we�ve been overhearing people asking �where will you be election night� so why not encourage a giant civic celebration?

If the rest of the planet could vote, Barack Obama would win the American 2008 election in an unprecedented landslide. It�s safe to say that much of the world is waiting anxiously for the Obama victory � think of the 200,000 people that saw Obama speak in Berlin last July.

The United States has lost moral support and sympathy around the world over the last eight years. The Obama win is a chance for a new start and to patch up both its reputation and its international relationships. We need to send a big fun signal of good faith that we�re ready to have them back. Let�s do that by gathering together in our public squares to celebrate this new era and show our American friends they are not alone in the world.

Here�s how it will work: When CNN declares victory (since it�s the news organization most internationally available) head to your city or town�s main square where public celebrations usually take place. If it�s a square with a big video screen maybe they�ll broadcast results so you can go early, or watch the victory speech after. Like when your sports team wins, it�s better to celebrate in public with everybody else.

In Toronto, head to Dundas Square. It�s got the space, those big TVs, and after every hockey championship, it is naturally filled with people.

Though planning this before results are in risks a �Dewey Defeats Truman� scenario (let�s all knock wood) it�s worth the risk. We may not agree with everything the United States does or even with all of Obama�s platform, but let�s put all that aside and, for once, celebrate America�s new start. Welcome back America!

Unless every single credible poll turns out to be wrong today, Barack will win the election.

Funny thing is, a poll of Canadians found that 85% would vote Obama if they could, and our poll here is now at 81% Obama.

Neato.

I forget what the percent was, but China would vote Obama in too.




I would vote for Obama... but I fear for homeland security. Although I do not think that Bush's approach is right, you also need to be more proactive than 'talking to the enemies.'

Obamas grandmother passed away yesterday What horrible timing.

even though it seems like obama has it in the bag, i think a lot of democrats might feel a bit too complacent and stay home, deciding their vote isn't needed. but i think no matter who wins, a good portion of americans are going to be extremely pissed with the outcome...

Wow, really?

I think Obama's got it - the McCain campaign lost a lot of momentum in the final weeks. He just didn't bring it home like Obama did.

If Obama doesn't win, it's going to be uber-close and I forsee some major uprising in the US in protest.

Based on yesterday's polls, McCain was so far behind it would be the first time anyone has come back from that kind of deficit to win.

I really really really hope that Obama wins. America needs a good change.

Obama.

I have a keen interest in this year's election since I am looking to relocate to the US within the next 2 years.

McCain's stance on any social issue scares me and I can't even imagine what would happen if he died and Palin was left in charge.

I think Obama is fresh blood and he has inspired a nation of generally unengaged people to get involved and have their voices heard. He gives people hope that things will change.

I have never wanted something so bad that I have absolutely no control over.

it's pretty damn scary. the entire world wants obama and if they enitre world was voting he would win, but unfortunately Americans don't really care what the rest of the world wants. It will be close.

For every New Yorker you know, there is someone in Alabama that is completely opposite.
