Make that Hillary "Rodham" Clinton, please
I really am starting to love Hillary again; a few days ago, a story came out that indicated that Hillary Rodham Clinton polls better for 2008 than just plain old Hillary Clinton, sans Rodham.
And today, I get an email from Hillary Rodham Clinton at HillPAC, with this header image:
You have to hand it to her: she will do what it takes.
[Update]: Heh, oops. I just went back into my old email, and she's always used that moniker. To be precise, her Friends of Hillary mailing list uses just "Hillary", without any surname, while HillPAC (and things she's done for the DSCC) always refer to her as Hillary Rodham Clinton. Hence the confusion: I'm on several Hillary mailing lists. Nothing to see here folks, move on.

Hillary Rodham
well you know for most of her political life she was Hillary Rodham. She didn't take her husband's last name until Bill was running for re-election as governor and the gop made it a campaign issue. Like she was somehow disrespecting her husband by not taking his name. So she took his name. Rodham's a high society name, she's from a rich family, her parents probably didn't like her taking the name of some poor family in Arkansas. Putting Rodham back in her name also reminds primary voters she's feminist.
