Doug Mills/The New York Times
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.

They hardly ever appear together anymore. I believe they cannot stand to be in each other's company.
We were all created. Many of us devolve. Witness Hillary.
She has never spent 10 consecutive days in Chappaqua NY.
Somewhere, someone is keeping a record of exactly who sleeps where and when, and in the case of Slick, with whom.
I fear her control over the media is so tight, witness the supression by every network and host odf Ed Klein's book, that all this will give her a free pass.
Ideas to defeat her?
Constantly illustrate her opposing and inconsistent views--a la Kerry.
Her voice is worse than fingernails on a blackboard.
thx.
the voice alone makes her unelectable.

Thanks for the ping!
Thanks for the ping.
This kind of crap from H'wd has been going on for years, and you've hit the nail on the head. It ought to be considered an "in-kind" campaign contribution, subject to the same rules and regulations as cash contributions.
