Hillary Clinton, From Revolution to Evolution

Today's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel included this column by David Brooks on the health care financing plan the Senator has proposed as part of her presidential campaign.
Clinton is hard to interview because her answers are often just chunks of her stump speeches, but I thought I detected real warmth when she described the way she and her staff came up with the plan.

“It was an exhilarating process!” she enthused, describing how all sorts of different people came together to talk through issues. “There were countless meetings,” she remembered fondly, “with business leaders who were surprised to find themselves sitting next to me” and a long parade of academics, nurses, experts and friends.

If you can associate the terms "exhilarating process" and "countless meetings", you may have found your candidate.
