    In West Virginia, women for Hillary Clinton haven't (quite) given up the dreamThey can't get over the irony that the first woman to be a viable candidate for president appears to have lost at the height of her game. It seems like only a few days ago, right after Hillary Rodham Clinton's big win in Pennsylvania, that Margaret Hamrick was on the phone with one of her bank customers, rejoicing at what appeared so possible -- a woman, at last, in the White House. Hamrick wasn't supposed to talk politics on work time, but the enthusiasm for Clinton was infectious.

    GREEN BAY, Wis. (Map, News) - The Green Bay Packers have released Koren Robinson, the wide receiver whose struggles with alcohol led to an NFL suspicion and jail time.

    The team announced his release Friday.

    Robinson completed a one-year suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy in October. He also has served jail time for a high-speed chase with police in Minnesota in 2006. But he appeared to put his troubles behind him, impressing teammates with his work ethic and efforts to stay clean.

    He had 21 catches for 241 yards and one touchdown in nine games last season. Green Bay signed him in 2006.
