So said a nice liberal Democrat from Manhattan, colorfully indignant recently at Hillary Clinton's intention to become a senator from the state of New York. Most of the women I know feel the same way. These people are Mrs. Clinton's base . Their resistance is understandable. And of course she may well win.
Modern people have a way of absorbing the brazen, factoring it in, in time discounting it.
For some New Yorkers, gall isn't a flaw but a lifestyle choice, one of the seven habits of highly effective people. Mrs. Clinton is a star, and New York likes stars. She will have the support of unions, and New York has unions. She is slippery and pragmatic and won't play the part of the liberal. She has a human shield in the Secret Service, and won't be as exposed as other candidates.
