The Case for Hillary Clinton

"Estrich argues the finer points of electing a Clinton II presidency, and paints New York's junior senator as a savior not jut for the Democratic Party, but for all women."

This book presents an impassioned argument for Hillary Clinton as the Democrats' leading candidate for president in 2008. With the Bush era now in lame-duck mode in Washington, all eyes are turning to the 2008 political season, especially Democratic looking for a leader to help them win back the White House. And in that role, argues longtime Democratic strategist Susan Estrich, no candidate even touches Hillary Clinton, the senator from New York. As Estrich demonstrates, there is no one in the Democratic Party who is as popular as Hillary. There is no one Democrats, and some independents, would trust more in the White House. Both a passionate spokesperson for liberal values and a strong advocate for our troops overseas, she has used her time in the Senate to establish herself successfully as a genuine political powerhouse. And she offers Democrats a once-in-a-lifetime chance to break the White House glass ceiling and be the first party ever to elect a female president of the United States.

In an atmosphere where conservative Hillary-bashing is still as virulent as ever, Estrich argues that there's a reason that this principled Democrat still blows away any other potential contender in the early polls for 2008 and that if she should succeed it would be a very good thing for America and the world.
