...matter how hard she and her steadfast backers try, the exit polling from Indiana and North Carolina are not going to help make the case for her going on. In order for Clinton to persuade superdelegates to back her over Obama, she needed to demonstrate that she was the less divisive candidate who could win over general election swing voters in states like Indiana. Her aggressive campaign, however, has led to a growing gap - now between 15 and 20 points in Indiana and North Carolina - in the perception that she has been more unfair in her attacks than Obama...
Clinton's recent embrace of a "gas-tax holiday" - an idea dismissed by others in her party as a bit of ineffective pandering - also reinforced questions about her trustworthiness. In Indiana exit polls, a full quarter of Clinton's own supporters said that they did not think she was honest.

Tsvangirai may, in fact, be on the verge of making a triumphant return home. On Tuesday, electoral officials are at last expected...
...rack up huge additional fees in their first month. What’s especially frustrating is that using text messages is hard to avoid. Even if carriers didn’t make it difficult, if not impossible, to call and disable the feature, friends serve as the biggest exit barrier. People who send a text message expect another back in reply, especially during lectures or movies where talking is taboo...
