Overseas Reaction to Super Tuesday

Last Thursday, Public Radio International broadcast (or click here) a very interesting discussion of the overseas reaction to the Super Tuesday primaries.

National Public Radio's Tom Reagan also gathered some reporting on the US election in foreign countries on NPR's blog.

Here are a few others to build on it. A London Times analysis calls super Tuesday's results “not super decisive.”

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation gathered its viewers opinions on the Super Tuesday results.

Agence France Presse reported from Jakarta, Indonesia–Barak Obama's childhood home–on the ex-patriot community's absentee voting habits.

And finally, for a look at the inverse relationship, take a look at this New York Times article on US domestic ethnic media's portrayal of the super Tuesday primaries.
