I follow American politics quite closely, especially given the major impact their politics have on the rest of the world and the world economy. Generally, I am pretty liberal and naturally I would tend to support the Democrats more. It has always amazed me, how around the world, parties who represent largely the interests of wealthy people, such as the Republican Party, manage to get themselves voted back into power, time and time again, by those who are not that well-off.

It is always done under the guise of either the American dream or some or other threat, whether it is terrorism, socialism or whatever else in this case the Republicans can think up. Essentially, the American economy has been driven into the ground, while the Republicans ran the country, and now, because President Obama cannot turn around the damage of 8 years, in less than 2 years, the Democrats must carry the can! The Republicans, who are generally a conservative lot, are now being driven even more towards the right wing, and some strange policies, by the latest fanatics, namely the supporters of the so-called Tea Party movement.
