Hillary's hard-won experience

In an interview with Salon, the candidate discusses the "vast right-wing conspiracy," being called by her first name, and how long U.S. troops would be in Iraq if she wins in 2008.

Thanks for the interview

Let me join with others in thanking Mr. Shapiro for conducting an interview that produced a real portrait of the woman as a candidate. I also liked what I saw: a thinking, pragmatic president.

For those who disapprove of "Hillary" so much, look at

and regard the titles at the top. Now, the point about a reporter saying, McCain, Edwards, Obama and Hillary also stands, though not so strongly as long as the campaign refers to her as "Hillary" over and over.

I do hope that the party takes a more adventurous stance in '08, but what this interview showed me, again, is that Hillary would make a very competent president, and wouldn't that be a change?
