‘To the Point: Super Tuesday around the world’
As Americans turn out for caucuses and primaries in 24 states, Super Tuesday has the rapt attention of people with no direct role to play. Will America choose a black man or a woman? Will the world’s most powerful country be led by a businessman, a military veteran or a former preacher? On Reporter’s Notebook, what kind of person wants to face the rigors of a modern presidential campaign?
Satellites, cable TV and other communications technologies have made America’s presidential process more accessible than ever before. And this year, the rest of the world is watching.
