The indefatigable Watching America.com has an extraordinary multi-feature that collects world reaction to Super Tuesday, and other articles related thereto.
Watching America.com wasn’t around during the primaries four years ago so it’s hard to know if the world is more excited this year than back then – but there is no doubt that the world is excited, and producing some interesting copy.
There are articles such as this one from France’s Le Monde, which examine the implications of America’s choice for the rest of the world. Then, there are pieces like this one from Italy’s La Repubblica, and this one from The Netherlands’ Elsevier which analyze the results and their implications for the rest of the primaries. Finally, there are the punditry pieces such as this from the U.K.’s The Times, which suggest whom Americans should be choosing.
One click to Watching America.com, which has all of these articles and many more from around the world, will open a window to global views on Super Tuesday and the primaries.

Robin may be best known for having coined the term “Blue Republican” to refer to liberals and independents who joined the GOP to support Ron Paul’s bid for the presidency in 2012 (and, in so doing, launching the largest coalition that existed for that candidate).
Robin’s current work as a trainer and a consultant, and his book If You Can Keep It , focus on overcoming distrust and bridging ideological division to improve politics and lives. His current project, Humilitarian, promotes humility and civility as a basis for improved political discourse and outcomes.
