...Obama Effect The media make much ado about the so-called Bradley effect [Nov. 3]. And it doesn't take a genius to see that John McCain and Sarah Palin have counted on this racial motivation to help them overcome the consequences of their poorly run campaign. But we must now factor in an even more potent quotient: the Obama effect - that quality whereby the more you get to know a politician, the more you like and trust him or her. This likability and perceived trustworthiness continue to grow over time. Across the board, Obama's ratings have steadily increased...

John McCain, a solid advocate of Israel and like many Israeli politicians an ex-soldier, appeared a better bet to security-minded Israelis than a black American with a Muslim middle name. "Obama's an enigma to us," said one Israeli official. "We're trying to figure out what his victory means...
...most important economic entities in the world, and with the ongoing financial crisis, people want someone who can lead the U.S. out of the pit," said Mr. Li, the editor of a Chinese newspaper with a degree in international relations from Beijing University. "Obama showed an obvious advantage over McCain on economic policy during the debates, and in this age of globalization, the U.S. coming out of the recession will benefit everyone...
