Cambodia

John Vink watches expats cast their votes.

I spent some time at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Cambodia, a very popular venue with international tourists, where the Democrat militants set up a screening of the 3d Obama-McCain debate, so that American citizens, be they Democrat or Republican, could cast their vote. It seems Americans abroad have to do it that way, so that they can get a postage stamp on their ballot, certifying they were not in the U.S. at the time of the vote.

Anyhow, there were some 60 or 70 people there, eating French (Belgian?) fries and drinking beer, watching the debate and casting their vote. Out of these 60, it seems, I met only 2 who were openly Republican. If that is a representative poll, I think America is in for a Azerbaidjanese surprise.
