"Absolutely," the Secretary of State told ABC's "This Week." "And, you know, the president in his public actions and demeanor, and certainly in private with me and with the national security team, has been strong, thoughtful, decisive. I think he is doing a terrific job."

3BlueDudes - Dec. 23 (News Analysis) - There is no shortage of hot spots for Clinton as she prepares to assume the role of America’s top diplomat. Most notably, Clinton will likely be charged with restoring and rebuilding America’s reputation among our allies, badly damaged by the Bush Administration’s ‘you’re with us or against us’ attitude and the unilateralism that defined the neo-cons philosophy.

Ladies of the nightly news

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Salon - By Rebecca Traister - Oct. 30 (News Analysis) - It was perhaps galling that one of the smartest questions asked of Hillary Clinton in the past 18 months was posed after a presidential debate in which Clinton did not participate. But it was appropriate that it came from a journalist who understands as well as the New York senator that the path to gender parity is lined with potholes. "Why do you think Sarah Palin has an action figure, and you have a nutcracker?" asked CBS anchorwoman Katie Couric on her nightly webcast -- her so-called after party -- following the final presidential debate between Barack Obama and John McCain on Oct. 15. Of course, Clinton didn't answer the question fully -- by, say, launching into a discourse on how her brand of female power is based on authority and competence that made her appear threatening, like a potential harvester of testicles, while the Alaska governor's brand of female power is based on her ability to winkingly climb the political ladder while never disrupting the fantasy that she is only here to conform to traditional feminine norms that do not threaten testicular dominance. No. Clinton just let out a loud (just once, for old times' sake) cackle and said, "I don't have any idea, Katie."

Real Clear Politics - By Barry Casselman - Jun. 02 (News Analysis) - Senator Obama's candidacy alters the make-up of the electorate. In Minnewisowa, he shows new strength in Minnesota and Iowa (where he dramatically won the first contest of 2008), and possible weakness in Wisconsin where there are more blue collar voters than in the other two states. Nevertheless, all three states could be close in November.

Salon - By Alex Koppelman - May. 21 (Poll) - Hillary Clinton may have drubbed Barack Obama in Kentucky's Democratic primary on Tuesday, but a Gallup poll released the same day showed Democrats may finally be coalescing around the front-runner. The poll, which was conducted before the primaries in Kentucky and Oregon, shows Obama opening a national lead of 55 percent to 39 percent over Clinton.

After all, these were the same people that told her two years ago that she was the de facto nominee. But it is obvious now that the contest is over. So who will she listen to? Well, maybe us.
