An impassioned argument for Hilary Clinton's fitness as a leading presidential candidate for the 2008 election cites the New York senator and former first lady's liberal value system, advocacy of troops on active duty, and ground-breaking potential as a first woman president. Reprint. 40,000 first printing. As the country prepares for the 2008 political season, one Democratic candidate has risen above the rest as a legitimate contender for the presidency: Hillary Rodham Clinton. In this passionate exploration of Hillary Clinton's political career, longtime political analyst Susan Estrich argues that Hillary has what it takes to make it to the White House and lead America out of the divisive Bush years into the future. With the keen political insight that has made her one of the nation's leading political commentators, Estrich reveals how Hillary has distinguished herself as an independent voice during her years in the Senate, promoting progressive ideals while defending our troops overseas, and in the process establishing herself as a genuine political powerhouse. She is not only the nation's most popular and recognizable Democratic figure, but also one of its most respected. Yet she has also been one of its most polarizing, and Estrich confronts the battles that Hillary-; indeed, any woman-; would face in making a historic bid for the Oval Office. In an atmosphere where conservative Hillary-bashing remains as virulent as ever, "The Case for Hillary Clinton" offers arguments both stirring and sensible, reminding us of the promise a Hillary Clinton presidency could hold for America.

With the Bush administration now in its final years, all eyes are turning to the 2008 political season -- especially those of Democratic voters, who are casting about for a galvanizing leader to help them win back the White House. And in that role, argues longtime political strategist Susan Estrich, no candidate even approaches the power and promise of Hillary Rodham Clinton, the senator from New York. She is, by far, not only the most popular Democratic leader in the country, but also one of its most popular and admired politicians, period. Both a passionate spokesperson for progressive 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. There is no candidate whose election would bring such vitality and lasting change into the White House. And she offers Americans a once-in-a-lifetime chance to break the world's most prominent glass ceiling and elect a female president of the United States. In an atmosphere where conservative Hillary-bashing is still as virulent as ever, Estrich demonstrates all the reasons that this principled leader still blows away any other potential contender in the early polls for 2008. And, with arguments both stirring and sensible, she reminds us that if Hillary should succeed, America and the world would be changed forever and for the better.
