A few days after her roughest night as a candidate — the Oct. 30 Democratic presidential debate — Hillary Clinton could be found ambling along a spectacular bluff overlooking the Mississippi River in a town called Clinton, Iowa, with former Vice President Walter Mondale, a ghost of Democratic disasters past. It was the photo op for an endorsement that seemed a potential kiss of death. Mondale is a smart and decent man, but he ran the worst sort of cautious front-runner campaign for the nomination in 1984, was nearly upended by the younger, more dynamic Gary Hart in the primaries and was utterly trounced by Ronald Reagan in the general election, in part because, in an untypically incautious moment in his acceptance speech for the nomination, he said he would raise taxes.
Clinton has been accused of running a cautious front-runner campaign. She is challenged by a pair of dynamic younger candidates in Barack Obama and John Edwards. She has endorsed higher taxes for the wealthy. And more than a few Democrats worry that she cannot win a general election, even against a disgraced and exhausted Republican Party. In other ways, however, Clinton is the furthest thing from Mondale imaginable. A vote for Clinton is, at bottom, a radical proposition. It is a vote for the first woman President, the most dramatic expansion of American possibility since a Catholic was elected President in 1960. In the past six months, Clinton has transformed herself into a far more dynamic campaigner than Mondale ever was. But most important, there is a stark difference in political philosophy between them: Clinton is a pragmatic moderate, and Mondale was an old-fashioned liberal.

And Stalin was just a well-intentioned Russian.
she stands for her power and money only.
One of many slobbering, fawning articles to come. A "pragmatic moderate"? Give me a freaking break. She's a disciple of Alinsky, for cripes' sake. Just the start of the media's campaign to make Hillary! into something she's not (a 'moderate').
A ‘pragmatic moderate’?? Amazing. Just shows how far to the left Time has become.
Hillary will do ANYTHING to become President....ANYTHING!!
“Ambling along a spectacular bluff?” Is this a repost of the cow falling 200 feet into the car?
so is Katherine Willey, [(Hows your cat?)Jennifer Flowers, {I sing), Paula Jones,(Trailer Park Trash,) et al.....
There is, as is typical of this mope, so many things wrong with this article that I couldn’t come close to finishing (sh)it...
Try slogging through the whole thing. Joe Klein daintily touches on the usual doubts about Hillary and then proceeds to attempt to bury them with words.
I can only guess he’s trying to persuade us that Hillary is not perfect but still the one.
Or something, geez! Time should be condemned for killing so many trees for this blather.

Ho hum. Time, still carrying the water for the beast. Big surprise. What a boring (and unconvincing) article.
You mean Georgian. Stalin was a well intentioned Georgian.
