Primary Glut


Every story on the "cover" of the online Washington Post is covering the results of the Florida primary. I thought I would look around at other online news sources and pull out all the important headlines that the Post missed by gorging on primary commentary, when I realized that there are no other headlines. The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Google, Yahoo, and CNN are all running the McCain win/Giuliani defeat.
Internationally? The BBC, Le Monde, Die Welt, El Pais, and PressTV Iran all succumb to election fever.

So where was McCain's face not gracing the cover? India. China. Egypt.
Tonight there were two worlds - one that is attuned to American domestic politics, and one that is not.
