    She'll always be "Hillary" because that just says everything about her. I don't really know why, it just does.
-Marketing, that's why. Her signs say "Hillary," Her T-Shirts, Bumper stickers etc. If Obama's first name were more marketable than his last, his sings would have had his first name on them. She also uses her first name to distinguish herself as an individual from her husband, who is also a politician. You may have heard of him :)

Can I ask why you are so taken with her? What is it about her foreign policy accomplishments that you find most appealing?
