Well, consider this: McCain was seen down in South America, (which I don't need to remind you is primarily composed of left-leaning Governments) as an extension of Bush II.
Considering Bush II's policies towards Venezuela (open hate), Ecuador (treat the Presidente like a terrorist), and Bolivia (try to oust the legally elected Presidente) it's not entirely surprising that we figured an invasion was in the works. Those three are also petroleum-producing countries (part of the new cartel of South and Central American Oil Producers) and Bush has a proven track record of invading oil-rich countries.
So there's my reasoning. Personally, I'm Canadian-Ecuadorian, and I'm happy that Obama is in, and not McCain. Largely because I figured that McCain would kick the bucket during his first term, leaving the US with President Palin. Which is more than a little frightening. The USA could do with a bit of old-style moderate thinking, and that's what it seems to me that Obama represents.
