I appreciate you posting as I admit I didn't know much about her.

One cause for concern was her tentative acceptance of deregulation back in the 90s, and I'm not sure the article adequately explained her position other than she went along to get along.

However, much of the article seems to show her in a positive progressive light. I like her focus on unemployment instead of inflation as economic policy - so that's a plus. As it stands, out of the field, she's probably the best we're going to get.
