As election day dawns in the east, a last look at how the world would vote - if they could. McCain takes Albania, Macedonia (where he is seen as standing up to Greece on the FYROM name issue), the Pacific island of Niue (McCain took all... one of the votes cast there), and the rest of the world is Obama country, although it was close in Venezuela. Obama 85.7, McCain 14.3 overall as of 8:00 a.m. eastern.
