Hillary Rodham Clinton makes history.
Today is an exciting day for me.
At last a woman has become the nominee of a major political party. And Hillary Rodham Clinton is one of the most qualified people to ever run for President:
- Secretary of State
- Two-term Senator
- First Lady of the United States and Arkansas — and an important adviser in both of those roles
Hillary also recognizes that Donald’s,
