Super Tuesday’s high drama and high stakes: The world watches
Current World News Comments (0)
It was known as “Súper Martes” in Mexico and much of Latin America and as “Super Dienstag” in the German press. France’s Libération had a special “Super Mardi” news blog dedicated to yesterday’s “Super Tuesday,” a major voting day filled with two dozen primary elections and caucuses in the U.S. Overseas news media have always paid close attention to American presidential elections, but this year there is an unmistakable current coursing through the foreign press’s coverage of the contest for the White House. That is the distinctly discernible sense that foreign reporters, news analysts and commentators, and the governments and populations of the countries their media outlets represent, are eager for change to come at the top in Washington. They can’t wait, it seems, to see the failed, lawless, corrupt administration of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney go, a competent, new president take charge, and the United States make an effort to resume a respected place among the international community of nations.
