‘To the Point: Super Tuesday around the world’
As Americans turn out for caucuses and primaries in 24 states, Super Tuesday has the rapt attention of people with no direct role to play. Will America choose a black man or a woman? Will the world’s most powerful country be led by a businessman, a military veteran or a former preacher? On Reporter’s Notebook, what kind of person wants to face the rigors of a modern presidential campaign?
