Ok, if I had to vote in one of those two I would vote for Obama for sure.
I think that Europeans tend to sympatize more with democrat candidates/presidents because Reps are always linked with a negative image, wars, wars, wars, guns, it's kind of confusing Reps are always screaming no abortion/pro-life stuff and at the same time are always connected with guns and war.
Anyway, politics are all crap no matter where they are, Europe, US, whatever.
Democrats, Reps, it's just a name for the same shit.
