Hillary Rodham Clinton tell it, all of that pales in comparison to her real childhood dreams. "I wanted desperately to be an Olympic athlete," Clinton said Monday at a Purchase College symposium on Title IX, the 1972 law outlawing sex discrimination in educational programs that receive federal funding. "I tried everything. I ran every race, and if I was really lucky I finished second to last...I couldn't jump, I couldn't run, I couldn't swim." After determining she'd...

Triple-Threat Dean John L. Perry Monday, Jan. 5, 2004 Republicans are enjoying watching the Democratic Party gulp at the prospects of nominating Howard Dean. They need to look again.

Joe Lieberman (Conn.) has been belaboring Dean as too radical and a non-winner—epithets that seldom, if ever, stop an insurgent candidate. Lieberman’s path to the nomination is unclear. 3) Gephardt is trying...

"[Clinton] had asked my opinion of a blanket Whitewater pardon including all those involved in any aspect of the scandal," Clinton's top political adviser Dick Morris tells NewsMax.com exclusively.
