Hillary Won't Win

Though she lauds Hillary Clinton in a new book as "America's once in a lifetime chance" to elect a female President, liberal Susan Estrich didn't always think so, according to NewsMax:

...two years ago Estrich was warning: "Hillary Clinton is never going to be president of the United States."
"There is no more divisive figure in the Democratic Party, much less the country, than the former first lady," the California-based law professor complained in her nationally syndicated column.
"I like her," proclaimed Estrich. "But many women don't. Even Democratic women. Even working women. Not to mention non-working, independent, non-political women.

"The more people talk about her as a future president, the more money Republicans raise," Estrich lamented.

I agree whole-heartedly! There is no more divisive figure in US politics today than the Clintons. Many conservative leaders were elected to office because of the scandals of the 1990's, the worst in American history, making Watergate look overblown in comparison. The Clintons were the best thing ever to happen to Republicans!
