Hillary Rodham Clinton

By M.B. During the 2008 presidential campaign Palin, through a scattershot of accusations, sought to convince voters that Democratic candidate Barack Obama was a leftist radical who did not share their values. In one instance, during her October 2008 interview with Couric, Palin alleged tha...

But she’s strongly disavowing any interest in seeking elected office again in her career. ABC News’ Rick Klein reports: Secretary of State Hillary Rodh...

By Todd Paglia It is a threat that is global in scope but also local and national in impact. ... No issue we face today has broader long-term consequences or greater potential to alter the world for future generations." - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, April 27, 2009

The U.S. government is encouraged by recent moves in Zimbabwe, and policy is under review, according to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. However, before any change in policy towards the country is implemented, the United States must be confident that aid will actually reach the peop...

By Carol Felsenthal Would Hillary, who split the vote with Edwards in the Iowa caucuses on Janaury 3, 2008 -- the first contest of the long race -- have won Iowa had Edwards dropped out? Edwards barely grabbed second place there. (Obama had 37.6 percent of the delegates; Edwards, 29.9; and Hillary, 29.5.)

By Noel Sheppard In the "Miller Time" segment tonight, as soon as I saw the Hillary Clinton swearing-in follies, I thought of Morris, as I told you, and of our pal, Dennis Miller. What was he thinking when he heard this? Now, I submitted that Bill Clinton helped Hillary Clinton. She wouldn't be where she is tod...

Only Hillary Clinton has made light of the "incident," hereinafter known as Night of BBB (Boys Being Boys). In an e-mail to the Washington Post's Al Kamen, a Clinton adviser wrote: "Senator Clinton is pleased to learn of Jon's obvious interest in the State Department, and is currently rev...

By Katharine Jose The Washington Post imagines what Hillary Clinton will do as secretary of state Clinton reportedly “feels like she’s been treated very well in the way she’s been asked." David Saltonstall marvels at how the G.O.P. has suddenly embraced Clinton.

By Lee Stranahan Some of my fellow progressives are understandably gnashing their teeth over the sparing of Judas Joe Lieberman. They may find it ironic that Hillary Clinton -- who wrote most of the script for the McCain attacks on Barack Obama -- might end up as Secretary Of State if she decides to. On MSNBC,...

Maybe Obama has already filled his quota of Clinton vets, and there's simply no room for Hillary. Unlikely. In other words, now is not the time for him to piss off Democrats in Congress. Wall Street Journal: 'Obama Hires More Clinton White House Veterans'

Consider New York magazine: "Obama Agrees to Roll-Call Vote for Clinton. Does That Make Him a Sissy?" When The New York Times reported on Clinton's pending nomination, it made no reference to historical precedents. Neither did The Boston Globe, nor The Wall Street Journal, nor The Washin...

By Megan SPENCER: if she voted against the war, Obama would have practically no traction and she would have kicked the shit out of Edwards. And, uh, speaking of kicking the shit out of Edwards, you HAVE to check out this looney-tunes column from Sally Quinn. Just read the first graf (that's all I read).

No one is saying he has to choose Clinton, though clearly I believe with Hillary we’d increase our chances of winning by a significant margin. Strike that, I think we’d win in a walk, even though many of us believed Hillary was never really getting the serious consideration from the Obama ca...

By Mark Silva by Mark Silva Was Sen. Hillary Clinton a victim of sexism in her failed bid for the Democratic presidential nomination? Some of her supporters say so. Then again, some will say that Sen. Barack Obama has suffered from racial prejudice...

By Jim Oliphant John Dickerson of Slate in a column today argued that if Obama is the truly the presumptive nominee, then Clinton was doing major damage to the party's chances in November by making voters in this crucial swing state feel alienated and angry toward the Democratic Party.

By Katharine Jose Barack Obama has stopped talking about Hillary Clinton. The New York Times editorial board thinks Clinton should stop fighting to seat delegates from Michigan and Florida. The New York Times editorial board thinks David Paterson "has lost his zeal" for reform.

Campaigning a few miles from each other Friday, Barack Obama trained his eye on November and the GOP, while Hillary Rodham Clinton battled for her political life, trying to hang on a bit longer in hopes of denying him the Democratic presidential nomination. [...]

By blacktygrrrr She deflected when O’Reilly pointed out that Bill Clinton did nothing for 8 years on energy policy. O’Reilly asked Hillary if she was more polarizing than Obama, and if he was nicer. Hillary was very tough on this question, announcing that she has been bipartisan, however toughness is requ...

By Simon Jenkins If in ten days time the Democrats of Indiana join those of Ohio and Pennsylvania in rejecting Obama, then white working-class America will have spoken. "We won where we have to win," says Clinton. If this in turn panics undecided delegates into backing her, it proves that an older and more co...

By Paul Jenkins Were Hillary Clinton the great rural white savior that her campaign is depicting, she would have had this thing wrapped up in, say, Iowa, or a couple of weeks after that. Her inability to dispatch a presidential neophyte such as Barack Obama in a Democratic primary is precisely because, af...

By eriposte Yay! Time for an update to The Clinton Rules and The Obama Rules! If Sen. Clinton does something unapproved by the "netroots", it reflects badly on her and it's bad news, period (especially if it ends up playing to her advantage). If Sen. Obama does it, it may actually be good for him!

By Carpetbagger It’s hardly unusual to think Hillary Clinton would appear on a popular, national cable talk show the night before a major primary, but her appearance on MSNBC’s “Countdown” was at least somewhat unexpected. For one thing, the Clinton campaign has done little to hide its disgust with the n...

By The Huffington Post News Editors SEN. HILLARY CLINTON ON MSNBC'S "COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN" NEW YORK - April 21, 2008 - Following is a transcript of Sen. Hillary Clinton on MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" tonight: SEN. HILLARY CLINTON, (D) PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I'm great. Thanks a lot, Keith.

By Katharine Jose A national Newsweek poll shows Barack Obama leading Hillary Clinton, 54-35. The New York Times, with melancholy, chronicles the defection of leading Democrats from Clinton to Obama. Chelsea Clinton is still courting the gay vote. The Pope blessed the World Trade Center site.

By Miles Mogulescu For four days now Barack Obama has stood all but alone, valiantly defending himself against charges of elitism from multi-millionaires Bill and Hillary Clinton and dozens of their surrogates, untold numbers of Republicans, and the bulk of the media.

By Seth Grahame-Smith Hillary pounced on the remarks, calling them "elitist" and "out of touch." Now, we'll get to those remarks in a second. But first we need to address the epic hypocrisy of Hillary Rodham Clinton calling another human being "out of touch" with middle class Americans. I'd like to start by sharin...

By Katharine Jose The Washington Post editorial board doesn't think Clinton should go. Chelsea Clinton says her mom will be a better president than her dad. Joe Lieberman says John McCain comes closer than either Obama or Clinton to fulfilling the legacy of John F. Kennedy.

By eriposte When she was first lady of Arkansas, Hillary Clinton did not just organize tea parties (contrary to what passes now for “common knowledge”). She had heard of a Bangladeshi economist who had introduced a great idea to help people out of poverty in Bangladesh and she thought his ideas might h...

By Bernard Chapin Although suspect, Zernike buys its legitimacy board, starch, and sinker. Indeed, she points out that it caused Chelsea Clinton to finally “get” feminism. She could not believe that the media reacted with amusement rather than outrage over this unseemly request of her mother. Frankly Che...

By Katharine Jose Clinton supporter and Senator Bill Nelson of Florida supports a mail-in primary. [Orlando Sentinel] Bill Clinton is talking about a joint ticket. [Political Wire] Buffalo Pundit says Jack David doesn't deserve the support of the Democrats. [WNY Media]

Okay, so we know Obama doesn’t care about Florida, because he knows he’ll lose that state to McCain, and if there’s a re-vote he’ll also lose it to Clinton. That would mean yet another huge swing state in her corner, which Obama can’t afford because it further makes the case that Clinton’s pa...

By Carpetbagger Towards the very end of last night’s debate in Cleveland, Tim Russert asked Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama if, looking back, there were any voted they’d like to take back. Clinton, coming closer to conceding a mistake than I think I’ve heard before, pointed to her 2002 vote on the Iraq AUM...

By Justin Thyme By Rich Lowry For two and a half months now, Democrats have been voting in primaries and meeting in caucuses to select their nominee for president. The last gasp of Hillary Clinton’s campaign could be telling them, in effect, that they shouldn’t have bothered. Clinton trails Barack Obama a...

By eriposte As if trying to answer just that question, Ted Kennedy said at a recent rally that Barack Obama is the one to break the deadlock in Washington. Huh? How? If that's the case, why hasn't he done so as senator? What sort of across the aisle magic unity has he manifested over the past 3 years? It play...

By Jason Horowitz And we’re seeing the ripple effects around the world. This week, many countries saw their largest one-day stock market declines since September 11, 2001. And it’s time we finally had a president who worked as hard for you as you work for America every single day.

By Carpetbagger This probably seems silly at first blush. Indeed, it probably is silly upon further examination. But one of the underlying criticisms of the Obama campaign is that Obama, to borrow John Edwards’ word, is “nice.” Clinton, in contrast, is saying she knows the Republican Attack/Smear Machin...

By Jason Horowitz “We think we have momentum in New Hampshire,” said Plouffe. “I think anything from neutral to momentum is going to provide us with a good outcome in New Hampshire. All I know is that if the New Hampshire primary were held tonight, we’d win.”

By eriposte Compare this to the House Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Europe, which is having constant hearings -- or to the Senate Subcommittee's work before Obama became Chair -- or to a comparative commitment of Hillary Clinton on a Subcommittee she chairs, and the zero hearing detail is disc...

By Simon Barrett Kathleen Willey should be a name that you remember, she was part and parcel of the Monica Lewinsky scandal with Bill Clinton. Having kept a low profile for over 10 years Kathleen Willey finally made the decision to put into print her side of the story. With Hillary a contender for the democrat...

By eriposte O]nce again, Senator Clinton supported giving President Bush both the benefit of the doubt and a blank check on a critical foreign policy issue. Barack Obama just has a fundamentally different view. “It’s non-binding, so it has no policy implications, let alone legal implications,” sai...
