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.

The name thing

I really think the only reason people talk about "Hillary" is because "Clinton is running for President" would be confusing. None of the terms used to distinguish the Presidents Bush, e.g. "Daddy Bush" and "Baby Bush," are any more respectful (not that either of them deserves much respect, but that's another matter) and I don't remember anyone talking about the "Mondale-Geraldine ticket" back in 1984.

Anyway, call her what you will, I'll vote for her if she gets the nomination, because she is guaranteed to be better than anyone the Republicans are going to nominate. Seriously. She's way too far to the right for my tastes, but Clinton vs. Giuliani or McCain or Romney or Thompson or any of those nutcases is like your annoying neighbor vs. Joe Stalin.
