Hillary was born into an American political dynasty? News to me.
No, but her claim for power is semi-hereditary. If not for being the first lady, it's debatable she'd ever be a serious presidential candidate. Hillary's hype is actually hurting female politicians that made their career on their own, not by marriage.
You can demean anyone's career in the same way:
If Obama doesn't get the keynote slot from Kerry, he's not taken seriously as a one-term senator running in '08.
If Kennedy's dad isn't a millionaire...
If Reagan doesn't meet Nancy and become a well-paid right-wing shill...
Nobody gets anywhere completely on their own, as I think Elizabeth Warren said.
Also, by this stage of her career, Hillary actually has more on-paper credentials (not that this makes a good president necessarily) than most any woman that could realistically run. It's really not a Ma Ferguson/Mary Bono situation after you've been SoS.
Yeah, it's funny how male politicians are never demeaned in this nature. I'd really like to know how Hillary's husband has had anything to do with her experience and credentials as senator and secretary of state.
Well, being the husband of Bill Clinton probably helped her get elected to her original position as a Senator.
And it also probably helped her campaign in 08 a lot better.
