Regardless of my personal opinion on Hillary Clinton, I think this was a really good interview. Shapiro offered a good mix of personal (How do you feel about being called Hillary?) policy (How many troops will be left in Iraq?) and follow up (What have you learned in the senate specifically?) questions. Clinton's responses were substantive. I learned about the candidate, including how she communicates and how she thinks about the office of the president. These things are, in many ways, as important as particular policy decisions.
If most political writing were like this we would have a healthier democracy. I salute Shapiro for his interview and Clinton for her eloquence.
