The Hillary Effect

My definition: the effect Senator Hillary Clinton has on making people either love or hate her.

No other woman in politics has been criticized in the ways Hillary Clinton has. For many reasons, Senator Clinton has a very polarizing effect on people. You either love her or hate her. Such reasons include peoples’ inability to separate her from their opinions of her husband, people are not ready to have a female president, or conversely just want to have a female president. Some people say she is too radical, while others think she is one of the few politicians who want to change completely Washington and to make politicians and policies work for the people, not the big businesses. But no matter what people say about her, everyone notices her. John Edwards and Dennis Kucinich could not say the same when they were in the presidential race. The attention she receives, both good and bad, might actually keep her in the race and help her make it back into White House.
