Dana Tuszke from BlogHer, has a very interesting post today on Hillary Clinton. Here is an excerpt from that post.

I was a bit skeptical when the first issue of Time arrived in my mailbox with a picture of Hillary Clinton on it’s cover. The story was titled “What Hillary Believes…And Why She Thinks She’ll Win” and I found myself wondering if she believed in anything other than her own well-being.

I tossed the magazine aside and cursed my husband for giving up his credit card number so easily, for a magazine that seemed to stink of liberal rubbish.

Then I remembered to be fair and balanced and I gave this article a speed read.

I was surprised to learn the author, Joe Klein, painted an honest picture about the powerful woman so many members of the GOP despise. I admit, I don’t like her either. Or should I say, didn’t? I decided to give her a chance, and I’m learning that maybe HIllary isn’t so awful after all.

Conservatives reading this may quite possibly experience a heart attack — maybe a few liberals, too. I’m not one to switch teams at half-time. But in all honesty, when I compare Hillary Clinton to Rudy Giuliani (or any Republican candidate for that matter), she’s not looking half-bad — and I’m not speaking of her physical appearance. (Too many people have attacked her looks as a way to hide their fear of the former First Lady.)
