I mean, American has an economic burp and the world economy goes into limbo. Being the only super power unfortunately means the entire world has to care about the choices you make because in the end, it does affect us. And for us Canadians, "in the end" usually means 2-4 months from now. So while we have no say in your election, you can see why we might care who wins.
That said, a lot of people just don't like Bush for unimportant reasons and would rather see Elmo wins than him.

The way I see it, it's a simple case of haves and have nots for most of the world. It is usually true that have-nots wish horrible things to befall the haves. So why wouldn't they want Kerry elected?
They usually don't have a sophisticated enough understanding of the world to understand that a strong America helps them. They're also typically too proud to admit that.
