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.
Umm yes and no. There are benefits for some people that America be strong (Canada) and even more benefits for some people that America be weak (Europe and Asia). And it's not just America being weak; it's America being while while they are strong. There's a difference.
