given her early work for the senate, and the children's defense fund, she was clearly a rising star. number 2 at yale law school, i believe.

by far...how did THIS happen? Could it be because he was a well-connected....male?

Hillary's not my preference, but I'll definitely work to get her elected if she wins the nomination.

it just isn't... at all.  Not even close.  Note even remotely, remotely close.  But I guess 16 other people will agree with anything that makes them feel good.

What does what she was doing 23 years ago have to do with anything?

thirty years ago.

into what that experience was. and 150 million women didn't finish valedictorian at wellesley and #2 at yale law school.

if it weren't so silly.  It begs parody.

I hope it doesn't get on the list.  I'd rather see a diary about the war, which everybody seems to have forgotten.  I hear it costs a lot of money.  But hey, we're so rich, let's keep pissing it away.

why not go and check out the brief on what it appears that she's actually done while W was off doing his cheeerleading gig at Yale...or dodging AirGuard duty...or destroying the TX Rangers?

Hillary's most self-touted virtue is that she has been under attack by Republicans for 16 years -- this happened because she was a Clinton, no?

She like her husband was attacked not because they are Clintons but because they had a D after their names.  This simple fact seems to have not been noticed by too many Obama supporters who think that because it's all about the Clintons that Obama will be immune to attacks.  They fail to remember just how immune our other candidates were who weren't named Clinton.  

Why does she stoop to this level?

that some still see women as children......
as in this:

Hillary can be president if W can be president.
There are plenty of men that take advantage of Daddy's success. Why not women?

clearly most people in liberal circles do not view women in the same relationship with their spouse as they view a child with his/her father.  Granted that was true in the first half of the 20th century.  Not so much now...at least not here.

W shouldn't have been President, and it was aristocratic for him to run in the first place. That's precisely why this dynasty is so disturbing.

Dynastic is a bad word because we're supposed to be a democracy, not a society where rulership is transmitted from father to son-- and husband to wife is little better.  

If Hillary can be president, so can Jeb!  Hang on to that thought for 2012 or 2016.  

"Jeb: Just like W, but smart!  It's his turn, dammit!"  

To play this out a little further...  If Jeb wants it, it will be hard to refuse him.  Absence makes the heart grow fonder.  With the benefit of four years absence, W will be remembered more fondly.  And the Bush family will probably still have control over much of the Republican Party machinery.  The party would clear an easy glidepath for him, even before the first primary, just as it did for W back in 1999-2000.

Meanwhile Chelsea can warm up in the bullpen.  

The rest of the democratic world would have to accept that we are this way, but they might not find much to admire about the quality of our democracy.  Succession by heirs and spouses is so... uh... medieval.

Not famous, but tolerably rich, iirc. But very good at keeping out of the limelight.

Kyl-Lieberman, and Mark "Mr. Halliburton" Penn.  Right.

Still a Goldwater Girl in so many ways.
