can Hillary Clinton win the Dems nomination for President.

With only about a month to go before the Iowa caucus on Jan. 3, it is becoming harder and harder for me to watch the news, it seems every poll is suggesting that Senator Clinton is slipping, and being one of the biggest fan of the Senator and the former President, that is not good news, I have decided not to watch the news again until i know who won Iowa on the 3rd of next month. The Vinton Eagle a local Iowa news paper today made their case as to why they think Hillary should be the party's nominee for president.

After examining each of the candidates, Sen. Clinton offers the complete package for what America needs in 2008. Through eight years as the First Lady during her husband, President Bill Clinton's administration, she helped shaped policy on a regular basis. And in an election year in which it is essential that we get it right, she is without question, the right choice.
It was 15 years ago when Hillary Clinton championed universal health care in her husband's campaign. And today, in her own campaign, she has held tight to that cause. Her health care plan would allow all Americans who so choose to have the same coverage afforded to members of Congress and all federal employees. She will see to it that no matter what preexisting condition you have, it will be covered and that any treatment or therapy will be covered in full.
In the area of foreign policy, Sen. Clinton spent eight years in the White House and the last eight in the Senate with a front-row seat to American foreign policy. She has dealt with these foreign leaders directly in critical situations up close. She has already had her on-the-job training in the White House and in the executive branch.

In the question of women's health, Sen. Clinton remains pro-choice, but she also champions a plan that would promote education, adoption and foster parenting for children of unwanted pregnancies as an alternative to abortion.

There is no doubt that other candidates in the Democratic field would make good presidents. The top two, Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois and former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina would make excellent presidents. We could truly be comfortable with either of them in the White House.

But today is not a time to settle for "being comfortable.- Here, in 2007, going into 2008, we need to have the best.

In the current field on either side, only one candidate truly fits that description, and that is Hillary Clinton. On Jan. 3, at your local caucus site, when the opportunity comes up to step up and make your stand for your candidate, make that stand for Hillary Clinton. Carry through with Iowa's awesome responsibility to make the right choice and choose the next president of the United States.

I wholeheartedly agree.
