Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton
listening to Donald H. Rumsfeld in
a Congressional hearing on June
23. She is a member of the Senate
Armed Services Committee.
As she gears up her re-election campaign for the United States Senate, Hillary Rodham Clinton is presenting a side of herself that might have given some of her supporters great pause just a few years ago. Nothing captures this new face of Hillary Clinton better than the Web site her campaign started this week: It portrays her robust stand on national defense and her desire to reduce the number of abortions, among other positions.
In fact, in the last few months, Mrs. Clinton has repeatedly confounded the expectations of people who judged her from her White House years. She has appeared publicly with Newt Gingrich, her onetime political foe. She has called abortion a "sad, even tragic choice." She has stood fast in defense of her vote authorizing President Bush to go to war in Iraq. Over the last few weeks, she has found defenders among prominent conservative commentators who feel she was maligned in a new unauthorized biography.
It is a striking departure from just five years ago when she was seen as a fierce Democratic partisan and a symbol of the liberal excesses of the Clinton years.
Today many Republicans acknowledge somewhat grudging respect for Mrs. Clinton as a senator and say they often find common political ground with her. Mrs. Clinton has become known as anything but the political extremist that many of her critics expected her to be, and has done and said things that have surprised friends and foes alike.

From the article:
Among some leading Republicans, there is no better evidence that Mrs. Clinton is positioning herself for a presidential run than her remarks and record on immigration. Yep...
KEEP THIS "TROJAN COW" IN NEW YORK STATE
Fat bottomed girl shakin' the money tree. 'Pod
Sheesh! The slimes is in overdrive for Hillary! I think the picture included is a pathetic attempt at making broom Hilda look somehow "presidential'.....glasses on, looking deep in thought. And her remarks on immigration? An obvious attempt at pandering to the right....and some here (not going to mention any names) are actually falling for it. What a joke.
I'll give you this. She's a better politican than we believed her to be. Unfortunately.
she has found defenders among prominent conservative commentators who feel she was maligned in a new unauthorized biography.
That's because we're all afraid that the lib who wrote that book made some of that sh!t up to make Mrs. Clinton look sympathetic. Part of her media makeover, ya know (see below).
Mrs. Clinton has become known (by the media) as anything but the political extremist that many of her critics expected her to be, and has done and said things that have surprised friends and foes alike.
Statement corrected.
It sure is early. I saw the TV trailers for the new Geena Davis as Ms. President series, and thought "Hollywood Hillary promotion."
Someone's gotta look after her, I suppose.
If by "better politician" you mean "unlimited in brazenness" I guess I'd have to agree. I suspect, and it's just a hunch, that there is probably nothing she wouldn't do...
What is it that they say? Mates take on each others traits. Maybe she is just a better liar than she used to be.
Just want to mention the new show starting in the fall...
wherein a woman is Prez of the USA. Interesting timing. It's called "mind control". Wonder who is the initiator of this program.
Who's got a quid pro quo with the fag nation?
I read Edward Klein's book The Truth About Hillary over the weekend. He warns in the book that this was going to happen.
She looks like she is doing that Johnny Carson Skit where Johnny gives the answer , then opens the envelope.
Hillery is a crypto-Bolshevik who is merely attempting to reconstruct herslef a la Bill Cliton into a flase figure of moderation.
I hope the Republican Party Leadership has the testicular fortitude to expose this witch for the kind of radical left-wing 60's neo-Stalinist that she really is during the Presidential campaign.
They'll have their work cut out for them as she, like her consort, is a practised, deft and accomplished liar.
No wedding ring in photo. Is Hillary Rotten Clinton trying to tell us something?
Her "repositioning" on issues like abortion is pure hooey. No one will fall for this from a candidate whose biggest contributors are NARAL and Emily's List.
