Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - Too much election news to wade through, but you’re enough of a news junky to want to see and read more? GenevaLunch offers you a helping hand, with some last-minute election coverage, from Switzerland and elsewhere. See also: “The best of today’s election coverage, elsewhere,” 3 November, GenevaLunch.

  • “Obama’s campaign kicked off in my kitchen!” Quincy Jones tells Swiss news magazine l’Hebdo (Fre) this week. Once a Clinton fan, now an Obama supporter, he explains why he switched, in a lengthy interview.

  • Voted? Didn’t vote? Help sort out the mess that is voting for overseas Americans by taking five minutes to do the Overseas Vote Foundation online survey.
  • Palin as the advocate of special needs children? The IHT seems to think so, but the New York Times two months ago had a different story to tell, and debates continue to rage in forums (one example here, of hundreds) for parents of special needs children.
  • Why are some of these election lines starting to sound too familiar? Check out the mind-numbing “Synchronized Presidential Debates” video on 236.com - ah, thought I’d heard some of that before!
  • Al Jazeera provides a nice collection of voices from around the world, interviews with people outside the US, talking about what they hope to see as a result of this election.

GenevaLunch will be reporting on how the election looks from Geneva, starting early Wednesday.
