George W. Bush accepted his party's nomination last night amid deafening cheers of USA! USA! But the United States is just a part of the audience following the thrusts and parries of the Bush and Kerry campaigns.

The uniquely American theater of the both parties' conventions made TV news and top-of-the fold headlines all over the world. Now that the campaigns are moving into the final stretch, foreign reporters will troop along with the U.S. press corps to cover what people around the world consider the most important election in decades.

This hour, foreign journalists discuss why the upcoming U.S. election is a lead story overseas and why the stakes remain incredibly high.
