''Kenyan elders may impose a fine on U.S. presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, payable in livestock, after a photo of her rival Barack Obama in robes dragged their people into the race for the White House.

''They said they would also convene a traditional Somali court to investigate the matter. It can impose fines that are payable in cattle, goats or camels.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I'm beginning to think these stunts which launch self-righteous indignation by he whose name cannot be spoken are coming from his camp and not from Hillary's.

Actually I've been thinking the same thing.

Whatever else you say about the Clintons-- they are defiitely shrewd politicians. They do seem to have made a few uncharacteristic mistakes in the current campaign-- but their political skills should not be underestimated. ggg
[And-- while it now seems that Obama is way ahead--and even has some great momentum-- Hillary might still get the nomination-- the fat lady has just begun to put on her makeup]

A few subtle attempts to bash Obama might well comefrom the Clintons. But recently some of these things are really extreme. I am wodering if the Clintons would be that foolish. Its highly likely that some of these actions were suble [and quite clever] attempts by Obama [or his operatives] to make Hillary look bad.
