A nice graphic from USA today detailing home continents of the 118 cardinal electors who may participate in the upcoming conclave:
Of the 62 European voting-age cardinals, 28 are Italian.
The 17 North American cardinals include: Cardinals Sandoval Íñiguez (Mexico), Rigali, Mahony, Levada, Turcotte (Canada), George, O’Brien, Wuerl, Rivera Carrera (Mexico), Ouellet (Canada), O’Malley, Collins (Canada), Burke, Robles Ortega (Mexico), DiNardo, Harvey, and Dolan.

The e-Courier references (from Catholic News Service) a tweet by Cardinal Malony:
“Cardinal Roger M. Mahony (@CardinalMahony), retired archbishop of Los Angeles, just started tweeting in January. He had more than 260 followers by Feb. 15.
When the pope resigned, he tweeted: “Am planning to be in Rome and vote for the next pope. Will be tweeting daily.”
What does he think “confidential” means? Of course, on an earthly level, I guess he has “nothing to lose.”
