Great article from Madeleine M. Kunin, First Female Governor of Vermont

Just wow, especially a tremendous recommendation for the first female POTUS from the first female governor of Vermont!

"When I was the U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland (1996-99) I saw her negotiate with world leaders and receive respect. At the Davos World Economic Forum in 1997, (where we took time out to ski together), after she had given her speech, presidents and prime ministers were already urging her to run for president."

"Hillary is the only candidate who will not need on the job training. She will not make a rookie mistake, and she will stand toe to toe with anyone -- a five star general, a committee chairman, or Vladimir Putin."

I knew she was supporting Hillary - but hadn't seen a written endorsement. This was very nice to read!
She seems quite accomplished herself!

Deputy Secretary of Education and Ambassador to Switzerland...

Not surprising that she's for the Clinton establishment.

Despite her experience in Switzerland - hardly a foreign policy basket case, her experience is extremely limited in the havoc wreaked on the world by both Clintons' foreign policy blunders.
