Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 Hillary Clinton was very familiar with the perks and pitfalls of being a political superstar. For more than a decade, she had been in the spotlight, and in the process, came detested and beloved.
#2 In the White House, Clinton had been a polarizing figure from the start. Yet, she became a more resonant figure after the Lewinsky scandal. Her decision to run for the Senate in New York in 2000 went against the advice of many of her friends, but she won the race in a landslide.
#3 Hillary was aware that the notion of her running was gaining traction within Clintonworld. She was also aware that the public polls had her within striking distance of the incumbent. But she still ruled out a bid.
#4 Clinton was not a woman who was easily swayed by dreamy rhetoric. She was a rationalist who weighed the risks and rewards of every decision. She took her full-term pledge seriously, but she was also aware that it might be the end of her political career if she lost.

#1
Hillary Clinton was very familiar with the perks and pitfalls of being a political superstar. For more than a decade, she had been in the spotlight, and in the process, came detested and beloved.
#2
In the White House, Clinton had been a polarizing figure from the start. Yet, she became a more resonant figure after the Lewinsky scandal. Her decision to run for the Senate in New York in 2000 went against the advice of many of her friends, but she won the race in a landslide.
#3
Hillary was aware that the notion of her running was gaining traction within Clintonworld. She was also aware that the public polls had her within striking distance of the incumbent. But she still ruled out a bid.
#4
Clinton was not a woman who was easily swayed by dreamy rhetoric. She was a rationalist who weighed the risks and rewards of every decision. She took her full-term pledge seriously, but she was also aware that it might be the end of her political career if she lost.
#5
Hillary Clinton had to make a decision about her presidential campaign. She didn’t want to finish her term, but she couldn’t get past the pledge she’d made to herself and her country. She knew she would be crucified if she ran.
#6
The absence of Clinton in the 2004 race left the road clear for Kerry to stage his surprising resurgence. The stunning victory over Dean in Iowa. The landslide in New Hampshire. The knockout blow on Super Tuesday that sealed the nomination and put Kerry in a position to make a decision as unlikely as it was momentous: selecting an unknown Illinois state legislator to give the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention.
#7
In late October, after his hospital stay, Clinton made a last-ditch effort to help save his party’s standard-bearer, speaking in front of a crowd of 100,000 people in Philadelphia in Kerry's support. The verdict on Election Day was a stark confirmation of the home truths Clinton had sensed after the 2000 election: another honorable Democrat was destroyed, another winnable election was lost.
Insights from Chapter 2
#1
Obama was a little less than a month into his term as the third African American senator since Reconstruction, and he was still learning his way around Capitol Hill. He wanted Hillary’s assistance in navigating the minefield before him.
#2
Obama’s manner was cocky, and he didn’t care if people thought he was arrogant. He knew he was smarter than the average bear, and wanted everyone else to know it as well.
#3
Around this time, the notion of Obama running for president in 2008 was already being discussed. Obama wanted to take advantage of his newfound prominence to build a larger brand. His staff was fielding three hundred speaking invitations a week.
#4
Obama’s new life as a senator was frustrating for him. He missed his family and questioned whether the separation was worth it when all
