Europe is not monolithically pro-Obamian

A friend of mine, Kyle-Anne Shiver, recently posted this article on her blog. She’s an excellent columnist, and so is her most recent blog post, but I will not agree with her on one issue:
That all Europeans are pro-Obama.
I live in Poland, which is a European country; therefore, I could be called “a European”. Yet I’m pro-McCain (I would vote for him if allowed to), so no, not all Europeans are pro-Obama. And I’m not the only pro-McCain European; a German man recently came to the Berlin Siegessaule to act as a counterweight to Obama’s German fans. And although opinion polls (one of which Kyle-Anne cited) did reveal that Obama has more European fans than McCain, the AZ senator nevertheless does have some European fans. So no, not all Europeans are for Obama. I’m just as apalled by the European Obamafest as you are, Kyle-Anne, but Europe is not a monolithic continent.
