Byline: MARC S ELLENBOGEN

TORONTO, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- No U.S. presidential primary in recent memory has been watched overseas more closely than the 2008 contest. It has also brought out large numbers of previously unregistered U.S. citizens who live outside the United States to vote. Here are comments from some ranking individuals.

Morocco

Hassan Abouyoub is chief foreign policy adviser to King Mohammed VI and former minister of economics and foreign investments.

"Marc, as you know, I have followed world politics for a long time. This is truly the most intense U.S. election I have ever seen. And I was around for JFK-Nixon (1960); Johnson-Goldwater (1964); Humphrey-Nixon (1968); and McGovern-Nixon (1972) -- even during that Vietnam period, the election was not as intense as today. And, there is more at stake for all of us than ever before."

Germany

Kurt Bodewig is vice chairman of the European Affairs Committee of the Bundestag, a member of the U.S.-German Parliamentary Group and a member of the board of the Social Democratic Party. He was minister for transportation and infrastructure from 2000 to 2002.
