...only woman in the race—and she reminds us of this constantly. Both the National Organization for Women (NOW) and the National Women’s Political Caucus (NWPC) defied their tradition of abstaining from political endorsements and put their official support behind her candidacy in September. And former President of NOW Patricia Ireland just became her new campaign manager...
...government will be chosen by 250-seat national assembly chosen by "Governate Selection Caucuses" in each of the country's 18 governates (or provinces), each of which will be allocated one seat for every 100,000 citizens resident in that province.

The same was true of Sylvia Gillis...

No one was embarrassed--except, perhaps, those who attempted to speak Spanish (the event was sponsored by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus). But the debate may prove to be a turning point, nonetheless. It illuminated a critical decision...
