President Hillary |
|
SOME Filipinos claim a political supremacy over the
Americans in the sense that the United States has not elected a
woman president. That may change if the Democratic Party nominates
Sen. Hillary Clinton for president and if she trounces her
Republican rival in the 2008 presidential election.
Senator Clinton has announced
that she is launching her presidential bid for 2008. The
announcement has been long awaited and her fans are cheering. Some
Democrats and many Republicans, however, see her as a polarizing
figure who could split the party or, if nominated, would lose the
election.
