[ad_1] “It becomes a kind of Catch-22,” said Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. “One of their criteria is the issue of viability, but without their endorsement, viability becomes very tough, because so many people use them as their barometer of, ‘Oh, does this woman have a chance?’” Emily’s List has also faced criticism that it does not do enough to lift up women of color. Nina Turner, an African-American former state senator from Ohio who was endorsed by Emily’s List when she ran for secretary of state in 2014, said minorities may face higher hurdles than white women in raising money, because they are less likely to come from wealthy circles. “I got the money late when I needed it early because they were judging my ability to fund-raise more than where I stood on the issues,” Ms. Turner said, adding, “I don’t think they take into consideration the hurdles that black and Hispanic women have to jump when you judge viability.” Ms. ...

Michael Carberry, Paul Horton and Mark Cosgrove all made fifties as the home side's bowlers toiled on a flat pitch, leaving them with a huge task ahead of them to get back into the contest. The toss was contested and Collingwood opted to send the visitors into bat, despite the bright sunshine at the Emirates Riverside. Carberry and Horton were watchful at the crease in the early stages of the innings to see off the threat of the new ball. Once Chris Rushworth and Nathan Rimmington were removed fro...

[ad_1] Yorkshire 96 and 49 for 1 require a further 272 runs to beat Somerset 216 (Renshaw 112, Brooks 5-57) and 200 (Abell 82, Coad 4-61) Scorecard Tom Abell produced a captain's innings to guide Somerset into a strong position on the third day of the Specsavers County Championship match with Yorkshire at Taunton. The 24-year-old skipper rescued his team from 24 for 4 in their second innings, making 82 off 137 balls, with 8 fours and a six, as they recovered to 200 all out. Ben Coad claimed 4 for 61 and Jack Brooks 3 for 44. That set Yorkshire a testing target of 321 to win on a pitch still offering assistance to the seamers. By the close of a day interrupted three times by bad light, the visitors had reached 49 for 1, with Adam Lyth unbeaten on 25, and trailed by 271. The day began with Somerset six without loss, leading by 126. They soon plunged into trouble as Coad and Brooks made good use of the new ball to pick up four cheap wickets between them. Coad had Marcus Trescothick ...

[ad_1] Royal Challengers Bangalore made four changes for their game against Kolkata Knight Riders. Tim Southee finally turned up at the 2018 IPL, while Manan Vohra and M Ashwin were also thrown into the mix. But there was one forced change, and that left a smile on the faces of the KKR bowlers. A viral infection forced AB de Villiers to miss Sunday's game at the Chinnaswamy, and the void showed in the RCB batting. At 74 for 1 after 9.4 overs, RCB had the platform to launch into the KKR attack. But with only a handful of experienced batsmen to follow, their No. 3 Virat Kohli opted to play cautiously, scoring only 20 runs off his first 18 balls. If de Villiers was playing, Kohli's approach would perhaps have been different, and RCB might have begun accelerating slightly earlier. There's also the aspect of mental pressure that KKR did not have to deal with. Instead of having to bowl against two of the world's most feared T20 batmen, they had to now bowl at just the one. ...
