Sarah Palin brings the Hillary Clinton era to an end

By Anne Applebaum

TELEGRAPH - She wasn’t going to “stay home and bake cookies”, she was going to reform the health-care system: if we elected her husband, we were thus going to get “two for the price of one”. With those words, Hillary Clinton launched herself into America’s national consciousness, and began a political career that very nearly brought her the Democratic presidential nomination earlier this year. Though she lost that contest, along the way she succeeded in making herself into something more than an ordinary woman in politics. She became an archetype, the Female American Politician.

More than that: she became the archetype of the Powerful American Woman. She herself once explained the hostility she inspires as the misdirected fury of men who were angry at a “female boss” or other female authority figure. They felt bad about being subordinate to a woman at work, so they took it out on her.

This was not entirely accurate: some people disliked Hillary just because she was Hillary. But it’s true that her personal style – frequently chilly, determinedly frumpy, visibly calculating, pointedly humourless – did come to seem like a kind of norm. That’s why, when she lost the Democratic nomination, it wasn’t hard for some to see it as a defeat for all women. If Hillary couldn’t make it in national politics, her disappointed supporters declared, then no woman could.

Bill and Hillary, at last, leave the stage

By Roger Simon

POLITICO - The Clintons have left the building. Finally.

Bill Clinton did his bit for Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention Wednesday night, just as Hillary had done her bit the night before. And now, at long last, they are getting off the stage so Obama can get on.

It is not a moment too soon. For a convention devoted to the nomination of Barack Obama, there has been an awful lot of attention lavished on both Clintons. But the Clintons have returned the favor.

The theme of Bill’s speech could easily be reduced to one word: Ready.

Bill Clinton Vows to Do `Everything’ He Can for Obama

By Kristin Jensen and Catherine Dodge

BLOOMBERG - Former President Bill Clinton said Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama is “ready to lead'' and vowed to do everything he could to make sure Obama wins the White House in November.

Clinton used his speech, one of the most closely watched at the Democratic National Convention, to quell talk that he wasn't fully behind Obama. He also sought to tamp any lingering resentment among the 18 million people who voted for his wife, Senator Hillary Clinton, during the primaries.
