Hillary backstage at Women in the World talking to Dr. Mamphela Ramphele, who is a South African presidential hopeful (and possibly for woman president in the country). She said to Hillary, “I want to see you complete the unfinished business.” They then went off for a private pow-wow.

Truth: I've been watching pundit after pundit talk about how they didn't see the enthusiasm for Obama that they did in 2008 and...
