Rove: How to beat Hillary

I've seen up close the two Clintons America knows. He's a big smile, hand locked on your arm and lots of charms. "Hey, come down and speak at my library. I'd like to talk some politics with you."

And her? She tends to be, well, hard and brittle. I inherited her West Wing office. Shortly after the 2001 Inauguration, I made a little talk saying I appreciated having the office because it had the only full-length vanity mirror in the West Wing, which gave me a chance to improve my rumpled appearance. The senator from New York confronted me shortly after and pointedly said she hadn't put the mirror there. I hadn't said she did, just that the mirror was there. So a few weeks later, in another talk, I repeated the story about the mirror. And shortly thereafter, the junior senator saw me and, again, without a hint of humor or light in her voice, icily said she'd heard I'd repeated the story of the mirror and she … did … not … put … that mirror in the office.

It is a small but telling story: she is tough, persistent and forgets nothing. Those are some of the reasons she is so formidable as a contender, and why Republicans who think she would be easy to beat are wrong.

This seems to be all to common. The woman may be evil but she should not be underestimated.

Good article, Fox. Important information, that.

Every presidential election is about change and the future, not the past. So show them who you are in a way that gives the American people hope, optimism and insight.
Sounds like he's describing Thompson, Hunter, and Tancredo...

Be strong on Iraq (http://www.newsweek.com/related.aspx?subject=Iraq). Democrats have bet on failure. That's looking to be an increasingly bad wager, given the remarkable progress seen recently in Iraq. If the question is who will get out quicker, the answer is Hillary. The Republican candidate wants to recast the question to: who will lead America to victory in a vital battleground in the War on Terror?
Cha-ching, Bay-beee!!

Yes, I suggest a big stick. Any stick, seeing as how, as my friend Mike said, she already lost the battle with the ugly one. :evilgrin:

She done been beat with the whole ugly forest. If she went swimming at Malibu, they'd be skimming ugly off of the beach in Waikiki.

Of course. She's only the Godmother of Clinton's mafia.
