Marie Claire UK Edition Presidential Info

In the November issue of Marie Claire UK, there's a big article on Hillary Clinton : Is This America's Next President.  The article is too much for me to get into right now.  Hillary brings out the worst in me. BUT...

As an addition to the Hillary Clinton article, there is a pretty blue box that says 'Who are Hillary's main contenders for the US Presidency in 2008?  The Democrats are first, naturally.

Barack Obama
Who is he? A junior senator from Illinois. He began his official campaign with a call to end the Iraq war and for US troops to be out of Iraq by March 2008.
What's he got going for him? Oprah Winfrey urged him to announce his candidacy on her show. Wherever he goes he is greeted like a rock star. Time magazine called him 'America's hottest political phenomenon'.
And against him? His age (47) and inexperience.

John Edwards
Who is he? Former lawyer and one-term North Carolina senator, 53, who runs an anti-poverty centre.
What's he got going for him? He has been called 'the most naturally talented politician in the field' by the Washington Post. There is a lot of public sympathy for the fact that he and his wife, Elizabeth, lost a son and she is battling cancer.
And against him? Many consider him too slick and think he should drop out because of his wife's illness.

Al Gore
Who is he? He was Vice President to Bill Clinton for 8 years. Gore, 59, lost against George W Bush in 2000.
What's he got going for him? As his backers never fail to point out, more Americans voted for him in 2000 than for Bush, but the controversy over the votes in Florida 'robbed' him of the presidency. His Oscar winning environmental film, An Inconvenient Truth, has made him an eco hero.
And against him? Hasn't declared his candidacy yet.

Okay.  Soak it all in.  Next!
