It's Americans who are voting

The left-wing liberal newspaper Pravda thinks European enthusiasm for Barack Obama will have little impact on US voters: "If the US elections were taking place in Europe, we would not have to wait till November to find out the name of the winner. But even on the old continent Obama is primarily addressing the Americans. He wants to emphasise his good relations with Europe so as to silence his critics at home who call him a foreign policy novice. ... In the states he has visited in Europe Obama is way ahead of his rival McCain in the popularity stakes. But the Americans could not care less what the Germans or the French think of their candidate."
