HILLARY CLINTON is to be presented as America’s Margaret Thatcher as she tries to become the first woman to win the White House. As she entered the 2008 presidential race yesterday, a senior adviser said that her campaign would emphasise security, defence and personal strengths reminiscent of the Iron Lady.

“Their policies are totally different but they are both perceived as very tough,” said Terry McAuliffe, Clinton’s campaign chairman. “She is strong on foreign policy. People have got to know you are going to keep them safe.” Clinton, 59, used her website to announce that she was taking the first step of her campaign by forming a presidential exploratory committee. “I’m in. And I’m in to win,” she said. It made the New York senator the instant frontrunner for the Democratic nomination. “She has the name recognition, the money, the glitz, she’s got it all,” McAuliffe said.

Hillary set herself up for a drubbing with that comparison.

I can just see the ad featuring Lady Thatcher supporting her opponent.

I know Maggie's health is not good. Reading this headline won't help.

So will she be referring to Ronald Reagan as a "giant" of a man, one of the greatest Presidents in history, etc. as Margaret Thatcher did?

No, if she said that liberals would HATE her.

The only thing she has in common with Thatcher is that they're both women (allegedly).
