Maple Elections!

Name recognition.
People outside the USA, especially teens who don't much care about the news anyway, don't even know who Romney is, much less what he stands for.

Also, even if the polled were knowledgeable, one would assume they'd vote according to their own country's best interest, which is not necessarily the same as the USA's.

(I'm not saying Romney is best for the USA, or isn't. Just saying the foreign vote means even less than the American Mapler vote.)

depends on location, Britain already hates Romney for essentially insulting them during the olympics. Putin(russia, but doesnt speak out to most russians, but as a political example) prefers obama over romney arms disassembly. Anybody who uses the internet is probably heard of romney enough that hes pretty much a horrible choice as a leader and the rest of the world wonders why hes even an option.
