"Condi vs. Hillary"

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses the book, "Condi vs. Hillary", which claims to explore the likelihood of a remarkable Presidential race - one in which both Democratic and Republican parties would pick female candidates. The paper explores how, in this scenario, Hillary Rodham Clinton would run on the Democratic ticket while Condaleezza Rice would run for the Republicans. The writer proposes that the authors might well have good reason to believe their core assumptions, however, their book is too biased to provide useful information about either potential candidate. The paper concludes that the real problem with this book is that in the authors' decision to vilify Ms. Clinton and sanctify Ms. Rice, they have reduced both women to two-dimensional caricatures.

From the Paper:

"The list is peppered with biased comments such as "criminalizing harm to a fetus during an attack on the mother" (an abortion issue) and "At every chance, she voted to cut the amount of the tax reductions Bush proposed." Now, at least, we know Ms. Clinton's crime: she is a Democrat. But this raises a question: if the co-author Morris is so opposed to Democratic political views, why did he serve as political consultant to Bill Clinton for 20 years?"
