Not being a US citizen I can't affect this election directly, however as a World citizen the result will affect me greatly.
I'm a very liberal person, with that in mind the last 8 years of Republican presidential rule in the USA has been a terrible period. I disliked George W Bush from the outset. He stole the presidency (FACT) and he lead the world into a hideous war (at least the aftermath). More recently his party's policies led the US banking system into ruin and with them the rest of the world (almost) into banking ruin too.
So today is the election, there are 2 candidates (worth talking about), Barack Obama and John McCain.
You can guess who I want to win (Obama) and I feel this way for many reasons;
1) He's a fresh face to run the USA, it almost feels like the 60s when J.F. Kennedy won the presidency, a fresh face for a new challenge (the cold war in full swing)
2) He's not a Republican (personal preference of course)
3) He's not an old white guy
4) Sarah Palin isn't his running mate (what the hell were the GOP thinking?)
So now we have to wait (as of now 8:22pm EST Obama is leading) and see if the American people care about their futures or want the same old tragedy to continue.
I hope, for their sake and the sake of the rest of the world that they choose wisely (and by that I mean Obama).
