The View from Here - Part 1
TAIPEI -- The only news you can get from many Asian and European countries is CNN. On the news this morning (Monday, October 4, 2004) there was much smugness and gloating over the seeming affect the so-called Bush debate loss has had on the American voters. CNN reported what was an 8 point gap is now a dead heat.
I think it is still too hard to tell what the true affect has been, but we'll see. Maybe these polls are an indication of an impending Bush defeat -- I doubt it.
Anyway, over the next couple of weeks, I'll be reporting on the "View from Here." How America looks in the eyes of some of our Asian friends (and are not so Asian friends from CNN) and other news sources here, in Asia.
I'd encourage your comments to get a US perspective on what seems to be from here.
