Clinton looks to sisterhood, but votes may go to Sanders
CONCORD, N.H. — On the eve of the New Hampshire primary, Hillary Clinton’s quest to become the country’s first female president has encountered an unexpected problem: she is having trouble persuading women, young and old, to rally behind her cause. The latest sign came Sunday, when a new CNN/WMUR survey here showed Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont beating Clinton among women by eight points — which represents a big shift from the results last week in the Iowa caucuses, where Clinton won women by..>> view originalThe night Beyoncé won the Super Bowl

CONCORD, N.H. — Marco Rubio’s robotic debate performance Saturday night sparked an all-out offensive on the campaign trail here Sunday over his authenticity and experience, momentarily halting the momentum of the senator from Florida and further muddling the presidential nomination battle. Just two days before the New Hampshire primary, Rubio drew mockery for repeating a rehearsed line four times during the Republican candidates’ debate, even after New Jersey Gov.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The par-3 16th hole is the centerpiece of the golf extravaganza known as the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Unfortunately for the 20,000 fans who packed the rowdy stadium hole at TPC Scottsdale, the action was just getting started late Sunday afternoon when the final group moved on to the 17th tee. That’s where Rickie Fowler self-destructed, first giving Hideki Matsuyama an unexpected chance in regulation, then handing the 23-year-old Japanese player the trophy on the fourth..>> view originalPentagon orders commanders to prioritize climate change in all ...
