Tom,

    Or should I say Tom!!!
    As a member of the generation that was originally told it was  
forbidden to have certain jobs because I was a female I have to take  
exception to your expectations of Hillary. I take a view that is 180  
degrees different.  I think it is quite possible that we would all  
know who Hillary is even if she didn't marry Bill.  And it is quite  
possible that she would have been better off without him.
   One can never know things 'that might have been' but look at many  
women who were famous or well know who either don't have husbands or  
who had husbands but the husbands are fairly obscure to history.   
Condi Rice is a recent one.  She is just about a household name and  
she isn't married.  Clara Barton the red cross nurse. Does anybody  
remember if she was even married? Susan B. Anthony?  Madeleine  
Albright? And those are just a few of the famous American women.
   You're right that W is not the only person to use family influence  
but I think you are wrong about Hillary.

Katie
PS Hillary is not my favorite in the primary, so I don't say these  
things to bolster her.
