    Why Does Canada Hate John McCain?

    Posted:
    04/9/08
    What, did he call them the "C-word," too? From CTV:

    When asked which of the three candidates they liked most, [Canadian] respondents preferred Obama over McCain by an almost five-to-one margin - 39 percent to eight percent. Even among self-declared Conservatives, Obama had almost double McCain's support.

    Hard to say how much our northern neighbors are paying attention to our current race for the White House, but this survey matches up well with Gallup's latest findings in the contest between Clinton and Obama. Despite Obama's pledge to revisit NAFTA if he's elected, Canada prefers Obama by a 9 point margin over the New York Senator. U.S. residents (the ones who may actually vote in November), on the other hand, give him a 10 point cushion.

    Now, if only there was some way the Obama camp could smuggle Canadian voters into the country and get their votes to count in the general election. Wait! I've got it. "The Nafta Superhighway" that Ron Paul and Lou Dobbs are so worked up about! That's perfect. Drive-thru voting. I wonder if Obama knows anybody at the passport office.
