If your preferred candidate doesn't win the election don't look back on this as the reason.
Now, breathe...
and...
...relax.

I think the point was not whether anyone would bother doing this (I can't imagine why anyone would). The point is about non-US citizens "influencing" US-citizens on how to vote come Nov. 2.
This only goes to show that Europeans (among others) feel that the outcome of the US election will have a significant impact on the world as a whole and Europe in particular. But as usual, we (the Europeans) are short-sighted: Bush was "bad", cos he went to Iraq. So he should not be reelected. Seriously, I've yet to meet someone,
anyone who is actually
for Bush over here.
What most of us here don't bother to realize is that the elections concern primarily the
domestic politics of the US, so lecturing Americans on what to do is way out of line.
Just so you know, personally, I don't give a rusty fuck who gets elected.
