LONDON — Europeans are watching the final stages of the U.S. election campaign closely, concerned about how the outcome might affect global issues.
Europeans can't vote in the U.S. election, but, like people everywhere, they have a stake in its outcome.
From economic issues to Iran and the war in Afghanistan, the future of Europe is very much linked to the United States. And the two men who are vying to lead it for the next four years would seem to have very different views of the continent.
"I think the president wants to turn us into a European-style welfare state, an entitlement nation. That model has not worked anywhere in the world," Romney said on the campaign trail.
