U.S. ELECTION – High Lights and News Feeds

U.S. Election is always a welcome rally to watch. From wherever one may live on the planet. Since the effects world wide always seem to become rather… real(?) And not to mention the local interest for you who live in the United States.

Here we intercept, chronologically, some of the worlds election on-goings. Both from regular media and the bloggers point of view (scroll down). During these very crucial times where information could be tightly integrated with media propaganda all angles and views are important.

Please notice that some of the feeds coming in are about elections elsewhere. This is because the search terms aren’t precise enough to catch exclusively news about the U.S.
