Mrs. President Clinton

Hillary Rodham Clinton embarked on a widely anticipated campaign to become the first female U.S. president


Hillary Clinton launches presidential bid
Last Updated: Saturday, January 20, 2007 | 10:29 AM ET
CBC News
Hillary Rodham Clinton embarked on a widely anticipated campaign to become the first female U.S. president, announcing Saturday on her website, "I'm in. And I'm in to win."

The 59-year-old Democratic New York senator said she was forming an "exploratory committee" to run for president and wanted input from the public on key issues.

"Let's talk about how to bring the right end to the war in Iraq and to restore respect for America around the world, how to make us energy independent and free of foreign oil … and let's definitely talk about how every American can have quality affordable health care."

Among many voters, Clinton is best known for her disastrous attempt in 1993 to overhaul the U.S. health-care system.

A few days ago, Senator Barack Obama, a Democrat from Illinois, shook up the 2008 race with his bid to become the first African-American to occupy the White House.

Democratic New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who would be the first Hispanic to pursue the office, intends to announce his plans on Sunday.

Clinton's husband, Bill, served two terms in the White House from 1993-2001.

Saturday's announcement is the latest step in a remarkable political and personal journey for Hillary Clinton — from Arkansas lawyer to first lady to New York senator to projected front-runner for the Democratic nomination.

A polarizing figure since she burst onto the national scene during her husband's first presidential campaign, Clinton engenders strong opinions among voters, who either revere or revile her, but are rarely ambivalent.

She is often compared to her husband and found lacking in his natural charisma. Others have criticized her for being overly cautious and calculating when so many voters say they crave authenticity.

Many Democrats, eager to reclaim the White House after eight years of President George W. Bush, fret that she carries too much baggage from her husband's scandal-plagued presidency to win a general election.

Supporters cite strong work ethic

Clinton's allies counter by citing her strengths — intelligence, depth of experience, work ethic and immense command of policy detail.

Advisers argue those skills, plus her popularity among women and younger voters, position her strongly as both a primary and general election candidate.

In her first run for the Senate from New York in 2000 — a state where she had never lived and where she was branded a carpetbagger by many — Clinton won a landslide victory.

Through dogged campaigning — including a "listening tour" of the state's 62 counties — Clinton was able to convince voters even in the conservative upstate region that she would represent them effectively in Washington.

Clinton's 2002 vote authorizing military force in Iraq has become a significant political challenge — angering activists who want her to repudiate her vote and aggressively seek to block Bush's proposed troop increase.

She has toughened her criticism of the conduct of the war and Bush's handling of the conflict, and she recently called for capping troop levels in Iraq at around 140,000.

She has rejected calls from liberal groups to cut off funds for Bush's planned increase in U.S. troops.

Ive always voted for a third party. Not because I dont like either candidate but I believe that we need more support for a third party in our current system.

I hate to say it but I told you so.

i said this in another post but ill say it again, this women banned gta san andres in new york without fully researching the topic( a person "created" a mod for sex in the game...the game wasn't made with it).

So anyone who enacts laws to "look good" without doing research does not need to be running for prez.....althow i would think by now that we should all know it doesn't matter who is prez....its these idiots in congress that are currupt and passes all the laws.

Lastly, does anyone remember all the ads talking about scandles and money these congress men took illegally yet they are still allowed to be and run for congress....its insane some of these congress men were making more money than BUSH!

This place is going to look more and more like Rush Limbaugh. The right-wingers who have become so dominant here will bitch about her non-stop, and the left-wingers left around won't care enough to defend her. Fortunately, I don't think she's going to get the nomination.

My guess is that Obama will get it, though it's too soon to tell. All I know is that Hillary is a very divisive figure, and I don't think the Dems are going to go for her. We'll see who else runs, but it will be interesting to see a black candidate and a female candidate as the main contenders, even more so if one of them gets elected.

I wont bitch about here non-stop!  :gethigh:

I think I would prefer her to Obama...  And I would definitely prefer her to Edwards.  In fact the only lefty I dislike less than her is Bill Richardson, for some reason...

Interesting yes.  But will it have any real impact once president?  Probably not.

Obama seems to have an unbelievable gift for politics. And I have to say, if he's nominated, I think he'd be one of the better Democrat/Republican candidate since the Kennedys.

Still, it's hard to even add up all the possible stones any given 527 Group might throw at him.

Assuming Tom Vilsack makes it another year, it'll be up to Democrats in New Hampshire. For some reason, I'd think they'd prefer Hillary. Not sure why.
