Between 200 and 300 supporters of Republican presidential nominee John McCain turned out to Desert Storm Park in Phoenix on Saturday, where U.S. Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Phoenix) and U.S. Reps. John Shadegg (R-Phoenix) and Jeff Flake (R-Mesa) addressed the crowd, but representation was highest for one group of non-voters: foreign journalists.

Television and radio crews from such far-flung locales as Spain, Poland and New Zealand were on hand for the event, and mobbed Kyl before the state's junior senator mounted the dais. Perhaps as many as ten such teams were on hand at Saturday's rally, meaning overseas news agencies represented as much as 10 percent of those in attendence.

More reporters for foreign organizations were also at an Obama rally in Phoenix that attracted around the number of supporters the McCain rally saw.

The foreign press has been streaming into Arizona in anticipation of Tuesday night, when, following national returns, Sen. McCain will either concede the presidential contest or declare victory - or perhaps neither if the vote is close - at the Biltmore resort in Phoenix.

As Garth Bray, a correspondent for Television New Zealand's Channel One News, put it to PolitickerAZ.com, "This is the place to be."
