Women Key to Clinton's Victory more similar news »
First Read: "So how did Clinton win so decisively last night? The answer is women,
specifically white women. They continue to be as important to her
success in these primaries as new voters and African-Americans have
been to Obama. Per the exit polls, 47% of the Pennsylvania Democratic
electorate last night was made up of white women, higher than any other
race/gender subgroup. Clinton ended up winning them by more than 30
points, 66%-34%; in Ohio, she won this group, 67%-31%."

Battle May Be Hurting Democrats more similar news »
"With Democratic voters falling into generally predictable patterns,
there are signs in the Pennsylvania exit poll that the prolonged battle
for the Democratic nomination may have negative consequences for the
party," the Washington Post reports.
"There is a growing sense among Democratic voters that Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are attacking each other unfairly, and majorities of each candidate's supporters said they would be dissatisfied if their top choice did not prevail."
Key finding: "Barely more than a third of Clinton voters in Pennsylvania said they would be happy with Obama atop the Democratic ticket; less than half of those backing Obama said they would be satisfied with Clinton as the one leading the challenge of Sen. John McCain, the presumed GOP nominee."
Meanwhile, the New York Times,
which endorsed Clinton, editorializes: "It is past time for [her] to
acknowledge that the negativity, for which she is mostly responsible,
does nothing but harm to her, her opponent, her party and the 2008
election."

Wake me up when Global Warming's over more similar news »
Pollution, conservation bigger worries than climate
It looks like Al Gore is going to need every cent of the $300m war chest he's amassed for climate persuasion. Americans polled by Gallup for 'Earth Day' value "traditional", bottom-up environmental issues such as pollution and conservation as being more worrying than Global Warming. Remarkably, the level of concern about greenhouse gas emissions has barely wavered in a generation. Recklessness, or Huck Finn-style American common sense?…

Farewell then, Mowser
VCs have spunked $1.5bn on useless Web 2.0 companies in recent years. And millions more in capital will be wasted in deals at Tim 2.0'Reilly's webfest over the next few days.
