I will hand this to Hillary, she certainly understands power and the power of uncertainty, and has some of the most effective political cross-messagers in the business on her staff.

She is the consummate post-ideological American politician of our age. That's exactly what is most fascinating and dislikable about her, but what makes her a highly effective political deal maker. She has some style, and clearly enjoys her work -- joi de vivre -- which is something that is all too rare. Is there a word for her sort of insouciance? Ambitious. Reckless. More than met her match, several times, but resilient.
