    Default President John McCain of Algeria, Congo Cuba, and Iraq

    I found it a little bit interesting, though I have to imagine how they got their results are based on statistics and small demographic polls. For one, it gets the results for the US grossly out of play.

    Any reason why you'd think those four went Mccain?

    Ahiga, this was an internet poll... it wasn't done by random poll testing.

    99.9% of people from Cuba, Congo, Algeria, and Iraq have probably no idea what the economist even is. And I'd think U.S. army personnel would be the only ones voting in Iraq, seeing as to how their army bases have Iraqi IP addresses. The only people who would read the economist in the rest of those countries would probably be conservative, right-wing minded people anyway, seeing as to how you have to be of the higher social strata to even know what the economist is.

    its an internet poll lol. Anyone can vote if they want. Some countries had less then 4 votes.
    Iraq isnt surprising, if you know english and read the economist there, then 99% chance your smart enough to know that american troops are better then the alternative for the time being.
