Though I’m abroad in Germany, super Tuesday is in many cases an important event around the globe. Super Tuesday is the time when we narrow down our candidates to the final two of the republicans and democrats. If you are overseas, it might be the best chance to make your vote count because it is those last minute ballots that do make the final call.
Will it be Hillary or Obama?
This seems like a really close call. From a personal perspective, it seems more like the young people in Europe seem more supportive of Hillary than Obama, yet those college students that I’ve talked to in the USA seem to be for Obama. If either one wins, it will be a new era for the US and it will send a new message to Germany. The US is a different place. No more Bush era.
Mitt Romney or John McCain?
Personal I don’t believe either stand a chance, but Bush did win two elections. The consensus I’ve received here in Germany is that it is time for a Democratic candidate to take office. Yet, there are still enough republican supports that this will not be an easy win for the Democrats.
Make sure that on Feb 5 that if you can vote, that you do so!
