Well it’s official. Sen. Hillary Clinton is a presidential candidate. She announced on her site. It’s not the best opening statement and it’s not the worst. It looked ‘middle ofthe road’ to me. She wants the ‘right’ end to the war, health insurance, energy independence, reduce the deficit, etc.
“I’m in,” she says in a statement on her new campaign Web site. “And I’m in to win.”
Mrs. Clinton, 59, called for “bold but practical changes” in foreign, domestic, and national security policy and said that she would focus on finding “a right end” to the Iraq war, expanding health insurance, pursuing greater energy independence and strengthening Social Security and Medicare
This will be a contentious campaign for Clinton as she had two easy elections in New York state. The first against Rick Lazio was a great example of the New York media treating her with kid gloves. The national media hopefully will not be so gentle.
