Clinton Nostolgia

I am amazed, is all, that I can look at old articles that describe Hillary Clinton in a way that I do not seem to see today.

In the September 17, 2007 issue of Newsweek the cover says "What kind of decider would she be?" with Hillary Clinton angled behind a pulpit raising her hand as if waving to a crowd. The article describes how Clinton was rather stubborn when she entered Washington as First Lady, refusing to yield on her healthcare program to the point of ultimately dooming it. It goes on to say that Clinton cocooned herself with her aides and came out as a new, compromising individual who could cut policies away with hardlined Republicans such as Trent Lott and Lindsey Graham.

Now I see the media shutting Clinton out, possibly in order to make it a real race. It might be worth it to ignore anything new and just look for older articles on all of the candidates that appeared before the hype.
