Bill Clinton: If HRC Is Edgy, It's For Good Reason
In an editorial board meeting with the Concord Monitor, the former president had this to say yesterday about Hillary Clinton:
"If people think she's a little too edgy, I'd ask them to just remember what she's been through in the last 15 years," Bill Clinton said. "Many people would have been broken by what they did to her. Everything that Kenneth Starr and that crowd charged her with, every single thing has proved to be baseless."
More:
Later, Clinton remarked that "some people just don't like a strong woman, I guess." Hillary Clinton "is very firm," he said. "Part of what you need in a president people find more unsettling in a woman than a man, maybe."
And this about Barack Obama:
For the most part, Clinton held his fire yesterday, describing the Illinois senator as a "smart, attractive" candidate who is running "a Chicago-tough campaign." But he suggested that Obama's position in head-to-head poll match-ups with Republicans (a recent Monitor poll showed Obama faring best among the three highest-polling Democrats) resulted from "months of exceedingly favorable publicity."

people don't like what he says only because it's not not popular but it is true, every word. She has been treated harshly but is still standing and will stay standing, she is a strong person.

Really bill. Even after your wife and surrogates attacked him, The latest zogby.com poll has Obama beating all top Republican Candidates. Hillary looses to Hucabee, Romney, and gets slaughtered by McCain.
Reason: she cannot win moderate and independent voters. see poll at zogby.com
