Questions for Eleanor Clift
Grande Dame

---snip---

Whom are you supporting for president? I don’t want to say, because I don’t want to alienate one or the other. I would take either of the Democrats.

But as a feminist who wrote a book with your late husband about the prospect of a “Madam President” — How can I not vote for Hillary Clinton?

Yes. Hillary called me the day after Tom died, and her first words were, “Oh, Eleanor, oh, oh, oh.” Six weeks go by, and I get a call from her scheduler. They set up lunch, and it was just the two of us. She has a well-deserved reputation for being loyal to people and remembering birthdays and illnesses and all of that.

And after that, you still didn’t vote for her? I vote in the District of Columbia, and I agonized over the vote. President Clinton, in the lead-up to the South Carolina primary, wanted to make it hard for Democrats to vote against his wife. Instead, by seeming to inject race, he made it easy. That’s all I am going to say.

Do you find it hard to endure your critics? I just noticed a blog entry that asked, “Could Eleanor Clift be an alien?” Well, that’s funny, and I actually was thrilled when I was the two of diamonds in a deck of cards depicting “the most dangerous liberals.”

1. WOW! She looks great!

I often find myself agreeing with her columns.

Very surprising that she did not vote for Clinton and that she admitted her vote in print. I've always thought she'd long admired and supported Hillary.

2. It sounds like she did admire her but was disgusted by her campaign tactics.

As most people are.

3. she bought the con job that the Clinton's surrogates were racial idiots that Obama

planted as he tried to change the subject from his losses in Nevada and New Hampshire.

Ms Cliff is not that bright if she is so easily taken in, IMO.

5. Link?

There is no evidence for what you are saying.

4. I've been watching Eleanor since McLaughlin began. She is one smart

lady. Rarely have I ever seen her get it wrong.

6. Way to stab a sister in the back!

And for something that Hillary's husband is supposed to have said!

I mean, who needs feminism when men are so good at running things? :eyes:

7. I'm sure it's more than that

Hillary herself has run a nasty campaign. "And the sky will open up..."
