Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York

Here are some interesting facts about Hillary. If she were to become elected President (which I doubt they would have a female in office) Im sure Bill would be in the background helping her out Wink

United States Senate: Senator Clinton was elected to the US Senate in November 2000 and 2006, after serving as First Lady during her husband's two terms as US President. She'll be up for reelection on November 8, 2012.
Mrs. Clinton was a serious-minded, activist First Lady, staunchly supporting children's issues and women's rights. She notoriously chaired the failed Task Force on National Health Care Reform.

Recent Notoriety - 2008 Presidential Race: Senator Clinton is a Democratic frontrunner for the Presidency in 2008. Former First Lady Barbara Bush predicted in March 2005 that Hillary Clinton "will be the Democratic candidate for president in 2008," but will lose the election. Republican columnist Peggy Noonan recently wrote about "Why Hillary will be hard to beat." Even ultra-right pundit Hugh Hewitt warns his readers to watch out for Hillary.
Recent Notoriety - Prevention First Amendment: Senator Clinton, with Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, introduced the Prevention First Amendment to the Bush 2006 budget plan. The amendment provided $100 million to make family-planning services available to all women, thereby reducing abortions and unintended pregnancies, reducing Medicaid costs and providing for early detection of breast and cervical cancer and HIV. The measure failed 53 - 47, with all but two Republicans voting against it.
Major Areas of Interest: Senator Clinton is a lifelong advocate of education, health care reform and anti-poverty measures. As Senator, she has given new priority to issues affecting the military, national security and Homeland Security first responders, such as police and fire fighters. Reacting to 2004 voting discrepancies, she has deep interest in voters' right and election reform.
Senate Committees in the 110th Congress:
Committee on Armed Services

Committee on Health, Education, Labor, & Pensions

Committee on Environment & Public Works

Commission on Security & Cooperation in Europe

Special Committee on Aging

Prior Experience: After law school, Senator Clinton joined the impeachment staff of the House Judiciary Committee in its investigation of President Nixon. She also advised the Children's Defense Fund. After marriage to Bill Clinton, she worked at the Rose Law firm in Little Rock. She was twice named by Time magazine as a top 100 lawyer nationally. She was also First Lady of Arkansas during her husband's 12 years as Governor.
Memorable Quotes: Senator Clinton has uttered many regrettable quotes for which she later offered profuse apologies. She is a prolific and admired speech-giver, and has articulated thousands of noble quotes, as well. Here are two classics:
"Voting is the most precious right of every citizen, and we have a moral obligation to ensure the integrity of our voting process."

"Research shows the presence of women raises the standards of ethical behavior and lowers corruption."

Personal Data:
Birth - October 26, 1947 in Chicago, Illinois

Education - BA from Wellesley College, JD from Yale University Law School, where she was on the Board of Editors for the Yale Law Review

Family - Married to William Jefferson Clinton, 42nd President of the US; one adult child, Chelsea, to whom they are both devoted

Faith - Christian, Methodist

Interesting Personal Notes: Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton is a strong, charismatic leader, legendary for her sharp intelligence, uncanny political sensibilities and extreme diligence.
She was the first child of a US Marine drill instructor turned businessman, and his wife, who was born to neglectful teenage parents. While little has beeen written of her early childhood, her father has been described as confrontational.

Senator Clinton is lifelong, devout Methodist, and was especially active in church groups as a teenager. She was a Goldwater supporter while in high school, and was President of the Young Republicans at Wellesley College.

Like many baby boomers, her politics became more liberal as the Vietnam War raged. By the time she was selected valedictorian of her Wellesley class, she was a Eugene McCarthy Democrat. She chose Yale over Harvard Law School after a cocktail party run-in with an chauvinistic Harvard proessor, and soon after, met Bill Clinton in a Yale library.

In 1975, Hillary Rodham moved to Arkanas and married Bill Clinton, wearing an off-the-rack cotton wedding dress she bought the day before their wedding. She started her career anew in Little Rock with the Rose Law Firm.

Theirs has been a rocky, tempestuous marriage, in which serious rifts were played out on the public stage. Many speculate that Bill and Hillary would have divorced, had there not been an adored child. Others close to the Clintons insist, however, that Bill and Hillary are deeply bonded, as shown by the fact that their marriage has endured for almost 30 years.
