Thefirst female ever has won a United States Primary Election – hallelujah!
It’s was such a thrill to see Hillary win last night after her defeat in Iowa. My daughter and I slapped a high five and talked about how a woman might actually be the next Commander in Chief.
Whether it was her teary moment that made her seem more vulnerable or her tough stances on real issues – I am so proud of her and so proud of those in New Hampshire that kept her so relevant.
I heard one male voter on NPR say, The country needs to be mothered …read more

Did you catch the 4 hour New Hampshire Debate on ABC?
My favorite part of the whole thing was when white, male John Edwards and Barack Obama were calling Hillary Clinton – the only woman ever to run for President – The Status Quo!

I’m in. And I’m in to win.
Today I am announcing that I will form an exploratory committee to run for president.
I don’t get it…has she announced that she’s in or she announcing that she will announce whether or not she’s in.
I guess it depends on what you mean by “In”.
But whatever…the gloves are off between Hillary and Obama…I smell a 3 ring-circus leading up to the 2008 elections…just throw Guiliani into the mix and we’ve got 2 more years of:
Platitudes and background checks and accusations…oh my!
Even though on the surface it seems like a special political season, and …read more
