She would also provide a strong role model for students...

And while much has been made of the fact that Obama and Clinton face the challenge of being potential presidential firsts--African American and woman--I suspect neither Senator worries overmuch about those innate hurdles. Both have a more immediate and intimidating problem: each will spend the next year running against the most formidable living Democratic politician, Bill Clinton...
