Political news junkies, listen up! Global Voices U.S. election weblog, Voices without Votes [1] is working round the clock to provide you with constant fix of world opinion.
Today, on election day in the United States, African bloggers have offered solidarity to Obama [2], a Venezuelan blogger wrote a poem about the impossibility of a Black man winning [3] the election, and in Paris bloggers are planning parties, parties, parties [4].
Hoa Quach on Voices without Votes [5], quotes Asian bloggers who shared their anxieties about the upcoming results before going to sleep in a distant time zone:
In Indonesia, Maman wrote [6] that an “anxious feeling” was coming over her. And, despite the polls agreeing with her, she is preparing for a GOP win:
“I am really having a strange feeling about the US Election, it's a strange feeling I can't describe. The poll survey surely go to my favor, OBAMA will win, but I do believe that race will play in the final result. I try to scare myself with the reality IF GOP win this election, it will be a big POUNCH on only to my stomach, but to almost most of the average American.”
In South Korea, Expat Jane [7], writes [7] that she’s also feeling “nerves and anxiety” but is excited to find out the results:
“I've been so very cool during most of this campaign. At least, when it comes to the discussion of Obama winning because I believe he will. By this time tomorrow, we'll know.”
