Sen. Clinton is NOT running on her husband's record.
She's running on HER record.
When she talks about the success of the Clinton Administration, yes....she talks about what she did to make some of those things happen.
Do you even realize that as First Lady, she went to Beijing, stared down the Chinese in their own backyard, and said "Women's rights are human rights, and human rights are women's rights, once and for all."
Do you even realize that as First Lady, she spoke out very forcefully for the veterans returning from the first Gulf War, and worked hard to get Gulf War Syndrome recognized as a real illness.
Do you even realize she went all over the world, and in places like Africa, championed "microcredit" loans that helped people, especially women, get control of their destiny by allowing them to get microcredit loans to start their own businesses. One of the reasons she continues to be held in such high regard the world over, is because she wasn't just resting on her laurals...she was getting the job done.
And she has also taken responsiblity for their failures, such as the health care debacle.
But even more importantly is this point:
One of the the themes that Sen. Clinton constantly returns to, is doing what we know works. That when we know what works...we need to build on that. For example, when she talks about creating jobs in this country, she says we can do that. We know how to create jobs in this country, because we've done it before.
