Hillary is up in the polls! Hillary is down in the polls! She’s a
feminist and women love her; she’s an enabler and women hate her.
She’s brilliant and hardworking; she’s entitled and
untrustworthy. Sounds like Hillary Rodham Clinton’s 2016 or even
2008 presidential campaign, right? Well, go back even farther to
the year 2000 to discover how every one of those phrases was
uttered during Hillary’s very first campaign when she made
history as the only first lady to ever run for office. That
groundbreaking bid for U.S. Senate in New York made headlines
around the world, coming as it did on the heels of her husband’s
scandalous affair with a White House intern. Reporter Beth J.
Harpaz was there, covering this political whirlwind for The
Associated Press, and her book, "Candidate Hillary," previously
published as "The Girls in the Van," revisits every key moment of
the race. This funny, fascinating account puts you in the press van
that followed Hillary from Buffalo to Brooklyn as she fought a cast
of familiar characters, including New York’s pugnacious Mayor
Rudy Giuliani. It’s filled with all the successes and missteps,
the kind that plagued the assumed front-runner’s 2008 campaign
for the Democratic presidential nomination, which instead went to a
young Senator from Illinois named Barack Obama. Now, updated with
new perspectives from the author and an introduction by National
Politics Reporter Lisa Lerer, "Candidate Hillary" offers a window
into Hillary’s vulnerabilities, strengths and the inner workings
of the Clinton machine, all told with authority, humor and the
benefit of hindsight.
