a global @ss-kicking

Dear Reader,

The results of our Global Electoral College are in. Barack Obama has won the election by a landslide...

Some 52,000 readers from across the globe voted, with 44,000 voting in favour of Mr Obama...

Mr Obama ended with 9,115 delegates, compared with just 203 for Mr McCain.

Mr McCain picked up support in some unusual places, including at various points in the poll, Andorra, Macedonia, El Salvador and Georgia. But in the end, just four countries fell to him (and by narrow margins): Iraq, Cuba, Algeria and Congo.

he's also the taller monkey - a lot taller

I think people really are missing the point about McCain's failure to look at Obama. McCain was afraid of Obama. It was really clear--look at how much McCain blinked in the first half hour. I study monkey behavior--low ranking monkeys don't look at high ranking monkeys. In a physical, instinctive sense, Obama owned McCain tonight and I think the instant polling reflects that.

McCain's strangest statements of the night: Alexander the Great, Ike's letters (what the phokk was that?), South Koreans are taller than North Koreans (really, has he lost his mind?)...
