[MLUG - DISCUSSION] what majority wants Bush?

[Mike Miller <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I was just thinking that there is probably no country on this planet (with 
the possible exception of the USA) where the majority of people want Bush 
to defeat Kerry in the upcoming election.  Am I wrong?

Then, within the USA, women will prefer Kerry to Bush as will all, or 
nearly all, ethnic minority groups (certainly the majorities of Black and 
Hispanic voters will vote for Kerry).  I also suspect that the majority of 
young Americans (under 30, say) will vote for Kerry.  So I guess it's just 
older white men in the USA who want to impose Bush on the world!!

Am I missing anything?

Of course, it is fair that people outside the USA don't get to vote. 
It's also fair that majorities of many groups (ethnic, age, etc.) will 
vote for a losing candidate.  I still think it is interesting that a man 
with such an extraordinary lack of popularity internationally, and within 
some groups in his own country, could be so close to winning an election.

Mike
