by inspiring millions of women to work even harder than they did, if that is possible, for President Obama. No Democratic President in my study of history is/was a perfect progressive candidate.

FDR is held up as the epitome of a progressive candidate who accomplished much, but some historians feel that his Secretary of Labor, Frances Perkins, was the real driving force behind FDR. Perkins was the inspiration and driving force behind much if the New Deals' accomplishments, including the National Labor Relations Act and the Social Security Act, to name just two minor things she accomplished.

I feel that HRC has the intelligence and willingness to lead the country in a better direction.
