Partly because of inadequate vetting for Taliban infiltration, for instance, Afghan security forces have repeatedly attacked coalition troops, making it difficult to transfer security responsibilities. ... |
| Political Winners Include Women Immigrants Posted: 08 Nov 2012 09:01 AM PST History was made this week on many fronts, one of which was the election of an unprecedented number of women to the 113th US Congress. Notable among these newly elected women are Elizabeth Warren, whose high-profile campaign was a rallying cry for progressives around the country, and Tammy Baldwin, who will become the first openly gay Senator. But given that demographics were an important backstory to the 2012 elections, the history made by women from immigrant communities is also worth noting. Latest from Quartz:Loading feed... |

John Kerry, that Mr. Romney's position shifts would allow them to label him a flip-flopper – a tag that would dramatically undermine his appeal. Yet the results from Election Day 2012 closely mirror projections from June – before Romney's move to the middle. |
