“This is so nostalgic,” Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton LAW ’73 declared upon entering the Yale Child Study Center on Monday morning. Clinton’s reminiscence was not unexpected — Monday’s roundtable discussion with women at the Child Study Center did, after all, mark the first time she has come to Yale since announcing her campaign for president last January. But it also amounted to Yale’s first appearance on the 2008 presidential race stage — a stark contrast to past contests that have featured, as in 2004, three Eli frontrunners and dueling members of Skull and Bones. The senator, whose pit stop...

A funny thing happened on the way to the wife of America's first black president being coronated: more than twice as many African-Americans voted for "Mr. Uncommitted" as Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) in Tuesday's Michigan primary. Clearly, the recent racial sparring between the Clintons and Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has not helped Hillary in the black community. As reported by the Atlantic's Marc Ambinder: Exit polls show backlash against Hillary Clinton among black voters... Almost 70% of black voters in the Dem sample chose uncommitted and only 25% chose Clinton. (She's leading overall -- beating uncommitted by, like, 40 points)......

Here’s Hillary Clinton’s two-minute closer ad, scheduled to air tonight - 24 hours before the Iowa caucuses - during which she tells Iowans: “If you stand with me for one night, I will stand up for you every day as your President.” She hits the experience and readiness note, decries “cowboy diplomacy” and reiterates her pledge to be a president who can “hear you and see you.” “I’ll work my heart out to bring the country we love the new beginning it needs, and I will be ready to start on day one,” Clinton says, using a catchphrase adopted (albeit...

I have yet to decide for whom I will vote much less who I will support in the process. I might have supported John McCain, but he shot himself in the foot with his openly pro-illegal immigration stance then had the temerity to badmouth those of us who oppose illegal, (repeat for those who need to have it pointed out to them), ILLEGAL immigration; then, I might just vote for Ron Paul, but he's so far right, he's left. Then there's Romney or Biden, they certainly have the distinguished looks for the role, but there's something about Biden on the...

Strickland campaigned with Clinton in Iowa over the weekend. CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (CNN) – Just days before the Iowa caucuses, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter criticized the state’s privileged role in the presidential nominating process, forcing her campaign to declare that she did not agree with the assessment. Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland was quoted in Sunday’s edition of The Columbus Dispatch as saying that it “makes no sense” to grant Iowa the right to hold the first contest of the 2008 race for the White House. "I'd like to see both parties say, 'We're going to bring this to an...

SEN. Hillary Rodham Clinton has lost the air of inevitability that once surrounded her campaign for the Democratic nomination. It remains to be seen whether she's willing to lose her soul in her quest for the presidency. Only a month ago, her main rival, Sen. Barack Obama, was dismissed as a "lightweight" by the political establishment. Now he has a slight lead over Senator Clinton in Iowa and New Hampshire and is believed to have a good chance of winning South Carolina. Magic Johnson's recent endorsement aside, the advantage Senator Clinton once enjoyed over Senator Obama among African-Americans has disappeared....

...How many pantsuits does Hillary Clinton have in her closet? And does she ever wear them in the same combination more than once? The pantsuit is Clinton's uniform. Hers is a mix-and-match world, a grown-up land of Garanimals: black pants with gray jacket, tan jacket with black pants...There are a host of reasons to explain Clinton's attachment to pantsuits. They are comfortable. They can be flattering, although not when the jacket hem aligns with the widest part of the hips (hypothetically speaking, of course). Does she even have hips?... Women have come a long way from the time when wearing...

Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton's top strategist predicted Thursday that nearly a quarter of Republican women would support Clinton for president — a claim that later drew a sharp rebuke from rival Barack Obama's camp. Mark Penn, Clinton's senior adviser and pollster, told reporters that private surveys suggested about 24 percent of Republican women would vote for Clinton "because of the emotional element of having a woman nominee."

Flower-Power Pork By Robert D. Novak Thursday, October 18, 2007; A25 Will the Democratic-controlled Senate approve a $1 million earmark to celebrate Woodstock-era baby boomers, carved out of a bill funding health care and education? It will, because it is sponsored by New York's influential Democratic senators, Hillary Clinton and Charles Schumer. It will, because they are promoting the pet project of a big-time Democratic campaign contributor. Nevertheless, as the Senate began consideration of the Labor/Health and Human Services/Education appropriations bill yesterday, Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma proposed an amendment to eliminate the earmark. The $1 million would go...

Ah, those diversity-loving liberals. You know, the kind who would stifle free speech with their Orwellian "Fairness Doctrine," who threaten legal action against mom-and-pop T-shirt makers who criticize MoveOn.borg. Wesley Clark would now take things one step further, whacking Rush Limbaugh off the Armed Forces Newtwork radio airwaves...

Republican presidential candidate Duncan Hunter says Hillary Clinton's second universal healthcare plan would be a "disaster" for America. Senator Clinton (D-New York) officially unveiled her new government-run health care plan yesterday in Des Moines, Iowa. The $110 billion program would require every American to have health insurance. Among other things, Clinton said she would repeal some of President Bush's tax cuts to pay for her plan. In an interview with OneNewsNow, Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-California) said Clinton's plan would result in poor medical care. "Socialized medicine will be a disaster for this country," says the GOP presidential candidate. "And the...

If women are from Venus and men are from Mars, the former valuing peace and the latter reveling in war, Hillary Rodham Clinton is a lot more like Mars than Venus. She loves war.
