"Had Obama been running for President in Germany, he would certainly have gained more that just 53% of the vote. Among the crowd at the musical, he would easily have gotten 99.9% - a result that even East Germany's Communist Party would have been proud of," a reviewer for the German daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung noted.

A dispute between Arab and Kurdish legislators over voting lists in the disputed northern city of Kirkuk this past autumn nearly derailed plans for the entire national election, which had to be moved from its original date in January to March.
