The Boston Globe previews Hillary Clinton's confirmation hearing today. "Hillary Clinton will be peppered not only with questions about foreign donations to Bill Clinton's foundation, but also about how she plans to tackle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>CommunityServer 2.0 (Build: 60608.1)</generator><item><title>Transition: Hillary in the spotlight</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/01/13/1743198.aspx#1743243</link><pubDate>Tue, 13 Jan 2009 14:37:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1743243</guid><dc:creator>Dems Lightly</dc:creator><description>The AP has cleared Hillary?

I recall when she worked to sell her health plan during the Bill Clinton Presidency. She was not successful, but she handled herself quite well. &amp;nbsp;She conducted herself well in the 20+ debates and she is up on the issues. &amp;nbsp;There will always be questions about Bill, and Hillary will answer them. By Friday Hillary will resign her Senate seat as she will be confirmed as the new Secretary of State. </description></item><item><title>Transition: Hillary in the spotlight</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/01/13/1743198.aspx#1743287</link><pubDate>Tue, 13 Jan 2009 15:05:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1743287</guid><dc:creator>J. Ellis, Virginia</dc:creator><description>Bush's Prescription for the GOP.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In retrospect, it is simply amazing that Dubya got elected in 2004. He is the same inept, bumling, lackluster leader that he was when he was appointed in 2000. The GOP, under Rove's guidance, used fear, religion, and patriotism to railroad some of us into thinking that George would finally fix what he had broken. It was not to be and we knew it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sarah Palin, using Rove's playbook, tried to employ the same tactics, and thankfully they failed. Her acceptance speech at the RNC convention gave America a true revelation of what the Republican party had become. They appeared to be an exclusive club that displayed very little diversity in race, age, or open mindedness. It was a party of the 1950's and a stark contrast to the DNC of the 21st century. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Republican party will regroup and re-invent itself, but I hope it is no time soon. The country needs time to heal and recover from the last 8 years.&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Transition: Hillary in the spotlight</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/01/13/1743198.aspx#1743305</link><pubDate>Tue, 13 Jan 2009 15:09:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1743305</guid><dc:creator>jerry/corpus christi texas</dc:creator><description>Boy, that Chuck Schumer just has to find a TV camera somewhere doesn't he LOL.....&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;First time Hillary locks horns with Obama, she will find out why she got her butt handed to her the first time by Obama.</description></item><item><title>Transition: Hillary in the spotlight</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/01/13/1743198.aspx#1743311</link><pubDate>Tue, 13 Jan 2009 15:11:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1743311</guid><dc:creator>eagle1776</dc:creator><description>The AP has cleared Hillary?

Of course they will be biased big time in the other direction. So if we listen to one liberal media outlet and one conservative media outlet we get the middle and most likely the closest to the truth. </description></item><item><title>Transition: Hillary in the spotlight</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/01/13/1743198.aspx#1743342</link><pubDate>Tue, 13 Jan 2009 15:26:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1743342</guid><dc:creator>Pom Poms are Cool!</dc:creator><description>The AP has cleared Hillary?
