The preference of Asia
The preference of Asia against Africa for the observation of this election is a factor that some of us, journalists of this continent may not know. I would think an event like this crucial election deserves much coverage, especially by Africans, who rightly regard America as the perfect example of orderly transition in governance and therefore need to equally observe the election. This African side of observation must be weighed against the involvement of an African-American in the race, an outcome that is unknown currently.
This is my brief observation.
