...Dodd and Patrick Leahy last week called on the New York Senator to quit the race, questioning her viability as a candidate. Obama himself, however, welcomed Clinton's continued presence in the race, saying the competition has served to energize and turn out Democrats. But at least one Pennsylvania poll shows the race narrowing as Obama outspends Clinton five to one on television and radio ads. And a steady stream of superdelegates breaking for Obama has become a form of Chinese water torture for the Clinton campaign. "The news keeps trumpeting the idea that Clinton mathematically...
...commission has yet to release any results on the presidential poll, held simultaneously on Saturday. The Zimbabwe Election Support Network, a non-governmental group, said a sample it conducted of 435 polling stations-5% of the total-showed Tsvangirai winning 49% of the presidential vote, Mugabe 41% and Simba Makoni, a former finance minister who split from Mugabe, 8%.

Perhaps, in line with the recent push toward more open communication, HUDS could do an online poll to find out exactly how many Harvard students will be staying over break, and what meals are most important for students to dine in. They might be able to open only a few dining halls, reduce the number of hot entrees, and still accommodate everyone while minimizing costs. We understand...
...advance of the joint presidential and parliamentary poll on Saturday, the head of the army declared it would not support anyone but Mugabe. All but a few foreign observers and journalists were refused entry. The M.D.C. said it had information that the regime had printed around 3.5 million extra ballot papers, and calculated that the presumed resultant rigging would result in a Mugabe victory. What's more, the M.D.C. has announced leads in previous elections, only to be reversed by later, regime-official counts...
