After all, the vote will see a new leader elected in the most powerful country in the world which has domestic and foreign policy objectives which will affect everyone else out there. Sure, Georgia has nowhere near the Diaspora in the U.S. that Armenians have, but that's not the point. The whole world is watching the presidential election, some people are interested what others think, and the election will have ramifications on this region as well as others. Georgia has already been mentioned in the campaign as a result of the war with Russia, and The Economist along with others are interested in what the world thinks. And for those of you out there who are following McCain, Obama and the U.S. presidential election, check out Global Voices Online's and Reuters' Voices Without Votes: <blockquote>Voices without Votes is a project of Global Voices commissioned by Reuters. Americans are the only ones who can elect the United States president, but the 2008 election offers a unique opportunity to harvest global commentary on America's politics and foreign policy and how it affects the rest of the world. Voices Without Votes highlights conversations in non-American blogs and citizen media, with emphasis on the regions covered by Global Voices: Africa, Asia, Europe, South America, and the Middle East. Our goals are: • To monitor global citizen media responses to US foreign and presidential politics in the run up to the elections. • To illuminate the effect of US foreign policy abroad and provide a lively and interactive news experience. • To enable readers to experience American events through the eyes of ordinary citizens from outside the United States.</blockquote> http://voiceswithoutvotes.org/ For the same reason that some are interested in what Armenians (and anyone else for that matter) think on a presidential election.
