...only six seconds behind 12th place Colby College. Individually, these three earned their own successes in the 5K freestyle. Finishing 34th, Devlin was the Crimson’s top placer in the event, with Mangan a few seconds and two places behind. Schulz finished right after Mangan at the 37th position. The three high finishes boosted Harvard’s total tally by 30 points. The men’s 10K freestyle saw strong performances, as sophomore Trevor Petach finished 41st, barely beating out teammate and junior Dave McCahill, who was a short .5 seconds behind in the 42nd spot...
...That slight level of curiosity is encouraging for Obama. But there's no denying that the Illinois Senator has his work cut out for him in trying to win over the California Latino community in places like Long Beach, home of the 37th Congressional District, where Latinos make up 43% of the population. Not only does the former First Lady have built-in name recognition, she represents an era of prosperity that many of these women would like to see returned. "Not to mention, I like to elect the first woman President," Salazar, a retired dental assistant, said with...
...Still, Clinton can't take the Latino vote, which could make up as much as a quarter of the vote on primary day, for granted. Although the 37th has a large Latino population, it consistently elects African-Americans, as it did five months ago in a special election to replace Congresswoman Juanita Millender-McDonald after her unexpected death.

Her campaign has placed nearly 650,000 calls to Latino women - part of the nearly two million they've done total, twice as many as the Obama campaign - across the state, 12,000 of them to Latinas in the 37th district. "Most of our outreach is directed to women," said Michael Trujillo, Clinton's California field director. "We made the targeted decision long time ago to focus our resources on where we can have the biggest effect and for us that's women - Latino, African-American, white, Asian. There should...
...Beyond any possible racial divide, the Obama campaign argues the greater hurdle in the 37th District is that of the establishment: both Richardson and former opponent Oropeza are united in their support of Clinton. And, like California in general - home to two women U.S. Senators, as well as Nancy Pelosi, the first female Speaker of the House - the district is partial to women, having elected them to Congress since 1996. "I know people want to make a lot about race in our campaign, but it really wasn't about that," Oropeza said. "And it won't be about...
