The XX Factor: What women really think.

Re: Defending Hillary, Sign of the Apocalypse?

OK, this is absolutely the last time I post on this subject. ... BUT the idea that Hillary is a very accomplished person because she was a star at Yale Law School, got involved in a few minor Washington issues, and had a decent career at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock before becoming a full-time presidential spouse just doesn't hold water. Lots of people are impressive in their 20s; lots of people are top lawyers in small cities; lots of people have loads of unrealized potential; and none of them would be considered a qualified Senate candidate, let alone a presidential candidate. Hillary may be good at a lot of things, she may be terrifically competent, even brilliant--and for all I know a great president. But that doesn't change the fact that her standing as a national political figure is derived solely from her marriage, and from nothing else. No man with that kind of personal biography would be considered electable.
