That's a cheap bit of denial, jon. Even those who do not see the US as either "opposition" or "competition" - and there are many - prefer Obama to McCain. Essentially because:
1) we do not share the horror you guys have of "liberal" views
2) Palin looks like a disaster just waiting to happen
3) Once you remove McCain's military heroism which, while admirable says little about his suitability as a president, he is far less impressive than Obama in those qualities important for that role
Even though Australia could well be better off with McCain because of his superior commitment to global trade and therefore the FTA between the US and Australia, most Australians see Obama as the better choice from a non-partisan point of view.
