Of course, the un-noted bit is the similarities.
In 2004, Hillary would have been a 3 year Senator halfway in her term.
In 2008, Obama was a 4 year senator, also about halfway in his term.
Did Obama pledge to be in the Senate for a full term? He didn't have to - he wasn't a two-term First Lady with very loud, well-documented, well-thought Presidential ambitions. Hillary being Hillary placed her in a trap, an unfortunate trap that could be described as her life.
I always marvel at how tight of a line Hillary Clinton has had to walk - she has to be strong, but vulnerable, hard, but yielding. Intense, but comforting. It's a ridiculously insane expectation. Her greatest turning point was also her largest personal embarrassment. I agree with the writers that say that the Lewinsky scandal humiliated her in front of the public, but also allowed the public to see the person inside the media-created statue.
I know some folks who wish she was president instead of Bill Clinton, who now wish she was President instead of Barack Obama. I wonder if Hillary sometimes wishes she had been born a boy.
I wonder if she's got a little Lady Macbeth in her.
The raven himself is hoarse
That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan
Under my battlements. Come, you spirits
That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,
And fill me from the crown to the toe topful
Of direst cruelty!
This is especially apt in 2004, where it appears she looks around and hates the lack of "hardness" in the political candidates; she, like many many, wishes Kerry would fight back and destroy the lies surrounding him.
