...Saved by Sentiment? Although polls indicate that women were instrumental in Clinton's win in New Hampshire, I take exception to the premise that the majority of women were taken in when she showed emotion [Jan. 21]. My immediate reaction to the episode was that she was showing the frustration that had been building for days. Clinton is not a touchy-feely woman who has hidden her emotions all these years.

On the other hand...
...crisis that has now lasted for more than two weeks without face-to-face negotiations between Kibaki and Odinga. In Kibera, a group of women shouted down a man who approached reporters and told them that Kenya would only see peace once Odinga was named President. That reaction may be a bad sign for Odinga because Kibera is a key stronghold for him and the constituency that elected him to parliament...
