Good Morning Visionaries:

The Economist magazine, known for its firm belief in free markets and free trade, would have endorsed McCain for president.  But their editors are dismayed at McCain's dirty campaign tactics and his choice of an unqualified vice-presidential candidate.

The Economist has set up a world vote for U.S. president and they have assigned electoral votes according to each nation's population.  The current count by some of the world's best informed people shows a tsunami of 9,120 electoral votes for Obama and 158 for McCain.  The only country where a majority has voted for McCain is Iraq.

Current projections from electoral-vote.com are

Obama 375    McCain 157    Ties 6
Senate Dem 59   GOP 41  
House Dem 252   GOP 182   Ties 1
