From virtually the beginning of her campaign, New York Senator Hillary Clinton has made every effort to maximize her advantages among women voters.
Look at recent history. The Senate has changed party control six times: in 1980 (D to R), 1986 (R to D), 1994 (D to R), 2001 (R to D), 2002 (D to R), and 2006 (R to D). This is no longer a rare event. And the Democrats now control the Senate by the slimmest of margins, 51 to 49.

Creators Syndicate - For the past year, Hillary Clinton's Democratic presidential nomination has seemed inevitable. She raised more money than any presidential candidate in history. She performed well in an endless series of debates. She carved out careful positions on difficult issues, protecting her left flank while not alienating moderates. She used her husband to woo crowds and raise money, while never letting him overshadow her on the hustings.
Creators Syndicate - Pretty much every election year since I can remember, a complaint has arisen that goes like this: "Why are we stuck with these awful choices?
Creators Syndicate - Bill Shaheen was clearly wrong. The Hillary Clinton supporter and husband of former Governor of New Hampshire Jeanne Shaheen ignited a firestorm by suggesting that Barack Obama's open admission of drug use in his youth could be ammunition for the Republicans in a general election.
Creators Syndicate - The White House campaign to stampede this nation into war, to smash Iran's nuclear facilities before she acquires the capability to build an atom bomb, has been derailed, probably for the duration of the Bush presidency.
WASHINGTON -- A well-connected friend in the Hillary Clinton campaign let this slip after a tour of early primary states: "If Barack Obama were white, he'd already be the nominee."
Creators Syndicate - Our catastrophe-obsessed traditional media calls it the subprime mortgage "crisis" or "meltdown." Here's what happened:
Creators Syndicate - Having vaulted into the front ranks of the Republican presidential contenders, Mike Huckabee is now more than an amiable curiosity — and his decade as governor of Arkansas will be scrutinized carefully for clues to his character and temperament.
WASHINGTON -- Isn't it time we just left Russia alone?
Some months ago I had a communication from a member of Conrad Black's defense team.

Thank God for Mitt Romney's "Faith in America" speech.

WASHINGTON -- Two prominent American political figures dominated last week's news, but in very different ways: President George W. Bush and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Let's see which one made the better impression with his character, morals and behavior.
"We know how to do this," Hillary Clinton says on the campaign trail, "we've been here before." Clinton argues she represents both the "experience and the change," but from the campaign's beginning, she has presented herself as a restoration, offering a way back to the sun-filled years of peace and prosperity of her husband's presidency.

Thank God for Mitt Romney's "Faith in America" speech.
