My view on the american election

Since one year ago the American election is part of the top news. Wherever you go it is followed with great interest. Why all this passion for the American election?
The USA, first power of the world, has influence all over the world; therefore its presidential election is highlighted, in fact in this global economy USA plays a major role. It gets the ability to direct nation states’ foreign politics due to its deterrent such as dollars and the green weapon (food). Because the outcome of this election can influence in a way or another my life as global citizen, my country and my world in general. I am involved in this election though, I have no voice in it.
Because of the huge differences in views of the two candidates, there are important issues at skate in this election. America is the most involved nation state when it comes to terrorism and Midwest since 9/11. The outcome is closely followed since the protagonist has very different view on the subject. Other issues such as ecology, the global economic crisis and the third world are key points in this election.
The candidate will probably discuss on American housing market, the war in Iraq, the global crisis which affects average American people and other current issues.
To conclude, yes the American election do influence the whole world because of its place in the global economy.
