Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness; chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself. - Timothy Leary

ya but i can still try to convince one of you to do the right thing and vote for Kerry.

For canadians Kerry is actually a finicial lost depending on how you look at it. He will allow american to buy perscription drugs from Canada again. While this is good for Canadian phamapseutical co. Terrible for the average canadian. Our drug cost will go up.

Regardless of this. if i could vote i would still vote Kerry because bush is the biggest f***up to ever be elected. He's gonna drive this planet into a 3rd world war.

I already voted Kerry

CNN International's election coverage
http://edition.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLI...cnni/index.html

CNN International will provide global audiences with non-stop live international coverage and perspective of the 2004 U.S. election.

The network's election coverage kicks off as polls begin to close Tuesday at 2200 GMT with a two-hour election special anchored in Atlanta by CNN International's Richard Quest and Jonathan Mann.

The program show will feature global reaction and viewpoints from CNN correspondents in bureaus around the world, in addition to up-to-the-minute analysis from senior political analyst Bill Schneider.

Coverage then moves to take advantage of CNN U.S.'s uniquely positioned team of anchors, correspondents and analysts.

Wolf Blitzer leads a team including senior White House correspondent John King and senior political correspondent Candy Crowley reporting live from the Bush-Cheney headquarters in Washington, D.C. and the Kerry-Edwards headquarters in Boston respectively.

Meanwhile, Aaron Brown and Larry King report from New York's Times Square in front of the state-of-the-art, 96-screen Nasdaq video wall, presenting real-time vote information, exit polls and analysis of key state races across the country.

CNN International in Atlanta, Hong Kong and London resumes the ongoing coverage from 0700 GMT on Wednesday.

Richard Quest, Ralitsa Vassileva, Jim Clancy and Zain Verjee are among the team providing up-to-the-minute results and analysis in two election specials, while continuing to gauge reaction from CNN correspondents around the world.

"This election is being as closely watched outside the U.S. as it is inside because of the huge foreign policy issues at stake", said Rena Golden, senior vice president of CNN International.

"The expertise of our global network of correspondents, analysts and anchors, our emphasis on providing both the U.S. and international perspective as the race to the White House comes to a climax, ensures that our viewers will be delivered the complete picture of this election," she added.

Election coverage continues as Tumi Magkabo and Michael Holmes anchor a special edition of "Your World Today" at 1600 GMT, before "Insight" at 2300 GMT brings its usual blend of in-depth perspective and analysis as the wide implications of the election result are put into context for an international audience.

In addition to the extensive on air coverage, CNN.com International will provide up-to-the-minute reports, live video streams, photo galleries and countdown clocks for polls in each state and exit polls throughout the day. There will also be international reaction after the results are announced.

Bush...

Kerry

Is "Not-Bush" political doublespeak? If so, it's ungood.

Doublespeak isn't an Orwellian term. And the phrase you're looking for is "Doubleplus Ungood".

now that's not nice. don't be such a sore loser. this election has more global importance than any other we may see in our lifetimes.. it's our opportunity to say that the american public sees bush as a fucknut. i'm proud of us, and i hope my next trip to toronto will be a tad more welcoming once the yank in me is discovered

I'm not American but I would definitely vote for Kerry. I mean...come on...there is just NO comparison between these two guys. Kerry blew Bush away in both debates I watched (and apparently did well in the last debate too)...his economic policies are more sound...he'll be much better dealing with other powers and not be so stubborn, protectionist and isolationist.

I know it's hard for the religious hicks who form Bush's base to understand...but the rest of the world is rooting for Kerry..and for good reason. Bush has made this world worse.

Regardless of the fact that many people here are not americans, I think it is important to see what the rest of the world thinks. Sometimes when you're living outside the country you have a better view of the big picture, because you see other points of view that are not always present in the country in which the vote takes place. If it were up to world opinion, Hitler or Stalin would have never risen to power. Most americans (and other people too) are often too self centered and interested only about local events that they fail to notice how a potential short term local benefit can be a great long term global problem.

I can speak from my own (croatian) experience. EU and US have always told us that Tudjman's government were corrupt and opressive, but still his party won 3 elections in a row. Only when he lost the elections have many people realized how much we were fucked up because of it and how we might now have been members of the EU had we chosen a different government 10 years ago.

Anyway, to make the long story short, if anyone cares about my suggestion, I suggest vote Kerry
