With Herman Cain being accused of sexual misconduct for a fifth time, Newt Gingrich making controversial statements about illegal immigration, and much discussion of the mystery of Mitt Romney’s hair, it’s no wonder that the most-added channel on Trove over the past seven days chronicles the 2012 Presidential Election.

Also on the minds of Trove users? Egypt, which just held its first parliamentary election since the fall of long-time dictator Hosni Mubarak; the European Union, whose currency is in danger of imploding; and Pakistan, whose relationship with the U.S. has been badly damaged after NATO airstrikes on the Afghan border left 24 Pakistani soldiers dead.
