Sydney - There's an Obama blend at Campos Coffee in the hip Sydney suburb of Newtown, and on Wednesday, proprietor Will Young and his baristas were serving little else.
"The boss is a big fan of Barack Obama," Young said over the hiss of Italian machines that kick out 800 cups a day. "There's no McCain blend here."
And there were precious few Senator John McCain supporters at Sydney University's Manning Bar, where a sell-out crowd of 1,200 not only watched but appeared on CNN coverage of the US presidential election won by Senator Obama.
"We weren't expecting the size of this victory," said US expatriate Jesse Dart. "It was pretty much all over before we got to the West Coast."
