With the Bush administration now in its final years, all eyes are turning to the 2008 political season -- especially those of Democratic voters, who are casting about for a galvanizing leader to help them win back the White House.

And in that role, argues longtime political strategist Susan Estrich, no candidate even approaches the power and promise of Hillary Rodham Clinton, the senator from New York. She is, by far, not only the most popular Democratic leader in the country, but also one of its most popular and admired politicians, period. Both a passionate spokesperson for progressive values and a strong advocate for our troops overseas, she has used her time in the Senate to establish herself successfully as a genuine political powerhouse. There is no candidate whose election would bring such vitality and lasting change into the White House. And she offers Americans a once-in-a-lifetime chance to break the world's most prominent glass ceiling and elect a female president of the United States.

In an atmosphere where conservative Hillary-bashing is still as virulent as ever, Estrich demonstrates all the reasons that this principled leader still blows away any other potential contender in the early polls for 2008. And, with arguments both stirring and sensible, she reminds us that if Hillary should succeed, America and the world would be changed forever and for the better.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

A political strategist who's worked with Michael Dukakis, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, Estrich (Sex and Power) doesn't make any bones about her political beliefs. She's for education, choice, gay rights, the environment, accessible health care and balanced budgets, and she expects that her readers will be, too. So it's the members of her own party, and the moderates of the Republican party, that Estrich aims to persuade with this lively book on why Hillary Clinton should be elected president in 2008. "The reality is that Hillary isn't running yet, but her opponents are already running against her," Estrich writes. The recent slew of anti-Hillary books, she argues, is designed to undermine Clinton's candidacy because Republicans, who have elected such divisive presidents as Ronald Reagan and Bush 43, understand that just because a candidate is polarizing doesn't mean than she can't win. Estrich takes on Ed Klein's, Peggy Noonan's and Dick Morris's books directly, but her main argument lies elsewhere. Clinton, she says, is the only woman in America capable of becoming president, and if she wins, her mere election will further the cause of mothers and daughters everywhere. "She has become a symbol of all of us, of our generation of women," Estrich writes. "She wins, we win. She loses, we lose. That's how it works." With its detailed analysis of past campaigns, its handling of both symbolic measures and policy points, and its juicy dish about past Democratic candidates, this is the most convincing-and most entertaining-argument for Hillary yet.

Estrich makes her case well

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2007

Verified Purchase

If I ever had any doubts about supporting Hillary Rodham Clinton for President, this book dispelled any such notions. When I first read the book over a year ago, I was impressed with the manner in which Estrich 'makes the case' for Hillary's superior intellect making her a great choice. Now that I have heard so many say that when watching the debates they notice that Hillary appears to be the smartest of the Democratic candidates, I am reminded of Estrich's book. I bought five extra copies to give to friends!

The Case for Hillary Clinton

Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2008

Susan Estrich's book, "The Case for Hillary Clinton," was published in 2005, with the paperback edition coming out in 2006. Estrich makes the case that Senator Clinton will not only run for president but is the most qualified of the candidates at that time and has a real chance of winning the election. Well, Susan Estrich was correct: Senator Clinton did run for president, she was the most qualified of the declared and assumed candidates of the time, and she did have a real chance of winning the nomination (and possibly the election) for president. The author presents her case in a clear, concise way, using each chapter as an argument for the Senator, based on her political experience in the White House and in the Senate, and as a deflection of the stated attacks by her detractors. The author handles both pros and cons with efficiency.

As important, though, is the meaning of what a Senator Clinton presidency would do for both men and women in the country. While women have come a long way in this country, everyday examples show how much farther women have to go to achieve equality. A woman as president, as the author maintains, would go a long way in increasing the equality of both men and women in the United States.

The book is well-written, informative and makes its case. The author included the best and most relevant information available for the book, and presents a most readable book on the subject.

That being said, until the beginning of this year, Hillary Clinton was certainly the front-runner for the presidential nomination of the Democrat Party. As we know, she has not clinched enough delegates to receive the nomination. "Most qualified," in this case, was not enough. What happens in the future remains to be seen, but as Susan Estrich shows in her book, a future with Senator Clinton in power can be significantly brighter than one without her in office.

It really won't change any minds

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2007

I'm surprised considering the recent publication of this book, and its now very relevant subject matter, that it isn't read more. I got my copy used dirt cheap. I am a liberal independent. I have on rare occasions voted for Republicans, but my politics tend to be left of center. Thus, you'd think this book would grab me and make me change my mind - it didn't. The author writes like an attorney defending Ms. Clinton in court. As they say in law school, "When the law is against you, argue the facts. When the facts are against you, argue the law. When both are against you, pound the podium." Seems like there's much podium pounding going on in this book.

My problems with Ms. Clinton are as follows - she takes us all as fools ("I've always been a Yankee fan"), feels like she's much smarter than all of us, and does not think that the unjust disposition of a few little people that get in her way (White House Travel Office e.g.) really matters in the grand scheme of things. These are all serious character flaws - character flaws not addressed in this book, and character flaws that make me not want Ms. Clinton to be President. Nothing brings out character flaws like the pressures of the Presidency, and if Ms. Clinton becomes the first woman president she may also be the last for years to come because of this. This is the opposite of the author's prediction.

As for the state of Ms. Clinton's marriage, contrary to the author's opinion, I don't care what kind of personal life she has. I know few people that really do. It is obvious to everyone that Bill and Hillary have an arranged power-sharing agreement - just don't try to pull my leg about this to the point of amputation. Again, this just goes back to Hillary believing she is smarter than everyone else.

If Ms. Clinton is nominated, as is highly possible in a political age where he/she who has the most cash on hand wins, I don't know what I'll do in 2008. If Rudy Guiliani wins the Republican nomination, he's probably got my vote. But more than likely, if the recent past is any judge, the Republican nominee will be a Puritan straight off the back of a Dutch Master's cigar box that I will find equally unpalatable. I'm really pulling for Senator Obama. He may not have the experience Ms. Clinton has, but he has character. Experience can be learned, character is either there or it isn't.

I would say that if you have time, this book is interesting. Just don't expect it to come close to answering the tough questions. That is why I am giving it three stars.

A case for Obama?

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2008

When I did read this book almost two years ago, I thought her argument sounds rather reasonable, except that Rice is a very unlikely Republican candidate for the presidency in her list. However, when we approach the election year, not only Rice, but also most of other Republican candidates that she listed in this book appeared to be un-electable. Most importantly, Barack Obama who was not listed in this book became the most popular and progressive presidential candidate among the Democrats. In other words, in this book, she compared Hillary with any other un-electable Republican and Democrats candidates, and failed to compare her with the most electable candidate Obama, in an attempt to make a rather unfair case for Hillary. In reality, she should have written a more fair case for Obama, instead of Hillary. In my opinion, Hillary is too conservative to change the US politics. We need a young fresh Bob Kennedy-type candidate to slash the dark "Bush" policy for good. Above all, Obama would be the best Democrats candidate for beating the old Republican front-runner John McCaine.

The outcome of Pennsylvania primary (April 22, 2008) will tell us whether this author had a deep insight in this issue or not. If Obama wins this primary, this book would no longer be worth reading. Instead you had better read "Dream from My Father" by Obama, a honest story about young days of our future (and the first non-white) US president.
