I remember talking to my French friend a few months back. She was curious who I wanted to be our next President: Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.
I told her neither. That I was for Mitt Romney.
She went silent for a minute and then commented about how she didn’t even know he was in the race. This was in the most heated moments of the campaign. Just before Iowa.
I think that’s very telling about the media Europeans are fed. This particular girl is generally fairly well informed. But you could tell where the media focus was.
