Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton (b. October 26, 1947)
Clinton, who currently represents the state of New York in the U.S. Senate, initially gained fame as the wife of President Bill Clinton, and is today one of those unique individuals who is easily identified by her first name. Mentioning "Hillary" in any type of political context guarantees passionate opinions either for or against her. She proved to be a lightning rod of support for President Clinton from his allies and various liberal groups, especially those involved in feminist/women's issues and health care. Just as powerfully, Hillary Clinton evokes strong reactions from Republicans and conservative groups who see her as someone to both mock and fear as the 2008 Presidential election draws ever nearer. Hillary Clinton is considered such a strong contender for the Democratic Presidential nomination, that Republicans often look at their roster of potential candidates with thoughts of whether or not those potential candidates can effectively match up against Hillary Clinton.
