French coverage of the US election....
Nice, France - As I sit here, I am amazed at the amount and quality of the French coverage of the US Presidential election. Newspapers, radio, television, websites, are all pulling out the stops to bring this story to their readers, viewers, listeners and "visitors". They have been counting down the days for two weeks now, and there is great excitement in the reporting but a strong dose of uncertainty about whether the US really can elect a Black President. French reporters and French people have been all over the US offering their perspectives during recent days, and one of the national TV networks sent over a whole planeload of people to cover the story.
