Customer Reviews

Estrich makes her case well

If I ever had any doubts about supporting Hillary Rodham Clinton for President, this book dispelled any such notions. When I first read the book over a year ago, I was impressed with the manner in which Estrich 'makes the case' for Hillary's superior intellect making her a great choice. Now that I have heard so many say that when watching the debates they notice that Hillary appears to be the smartest of the Democratic candidates, I am reminded of Estrich's book. I bought five extra copies to give to friends!

A compelling text

I am a registered member of the Democrat Party and must say this is quite an amazing book on the possiblity of the junior senator from New York securing the nominee and win in 2008. The only Democrat First Lady I have ever lived under happens to be Senator Clinton so for her to win the presidency and get our country to give the reigns of power to a woman for a change shall be as compelling as the thought of the most powerful country finally choosing a woman to lead for an effective change. To me, it is high time for a woman to be the President of the United States and for many months now, I have been thinking about this dream coming true for a dedicated Democrat like Senator Clinton. Thanks to Susan Estrich for providing some thoughtful commentary on an issue that raises many questions for the American people and what we all can do to relive the glory that was the Clinton name from 3/20/93 to 3/20/01. This country could learn a thing or two by having a woman create a positive change for the free world and bring about peace, prosperity, promise, and hope to the American people. May America shine again as a beacon for all nations across the world and provide enough social, economic, and psychological welfare for all humans as well as make human rights a duty for everyone and not a problem.

A Conservative Woman on Susan Estrich...

This is a great book for starters for Hillary Clinton's run in 2008. Susan has transformed herself on Fox News in recent years from the flaming liberal to a sensible speaking woman. I am a conservative and I know that Hillary has a great chance to become the first woman president of the United States....mostly because most of us women...ESPECIALLY after Bill Clinton was president...are READY for a woman in the Oval Office. No one should underestimate Hillary's chances. We Republicans don't seem to have an alternative besides Condi Rice to run against Hillary...and Condi keeps saying she won't run. We don't have anyone with the name recognition. Susan Estrich wrote this book on the cutting edge of time to sell a book like this...and noticing the make over she displays on TV...she seems to think she might have a chance in a Hillary campaign and administration. Watch out all you fellow conservatives! The book makes a good case for Senator Clinton...

I'm a Republican... and I couldn't put it down...

I am a life-long Republican and watch Ms. Estrich on FoxNews, so I picked up this book and read it in two hours... it's well-written and packed with interesting insights and stories about presidential campaigns. I highly recommend it regardless of your political beliefs. Can Hillary win? I hate to break it to all you haters, but she has a shot. Ms. Estrich makes compelling arguments as to how she has transformed into a powerful centrist senator and shrewd politician. I don't think Condi will run, so I'm not sure who we have who can beat her... it's going to be an interesting race in 2008. P.S. Don't listen to all these overtly partisan reviews, anyone interested in hearing a balanced argument should read this book.

Astute and insightful

Ms. Estrich's case is smart, funny, suprising and eminently readable. If you can imagine a woman being President, this is a must-read. If you can't imagine a woman being President, this is a must-read.
