Speaking from outside one of the UK forums I post on has done a poll with Mcain getting 12% and Obama getting over 80%.

Many of the republician ideals would go down very badly indeed here,

anti abortion, pro gun, anti stem cell research, creationist and wanting to teach that in science lessons, anti gay, someone with those views and I belive Palin has them would be concidered a nutjob in this country and those views are pretty common amoungst republicans.
