Voices Without Votes: What the world has to say about the American election

Americans are the only ones who can elect the United States president, but the 2008 election offers a unique opportunity to harvest global commentary on America's politics and foreign policy and how it affects the rest of the world.

Voices Without Votes highlights conversations in non-American blogs and citizen media, with emphasis on the regions such as Africa, Asia, Europe, South America, and the Middle East. Their goal is to monitor global citizen media responses, illuminate the effect of US foreign policy abroad, and to enable readers to experience American events through the eyes of ordinary citizens from outside the United States.
