Don't Run, Hillary, Don't Run
13 July 2005Amy Sullivan: "Jill Lawrence, one of USA Today's campaign correspondents in 2004, has observed that very few political reporters wrote about the way Kerry used religious language—even though, she noted, it occurred every week on the campaign trail—because they assumed that Democratic candidates weren't deeply religious. 'The stereotype of the Democratic Party is so deep that it never broke through,' she said. That's already happening with [Hillary] Clinton, whose religious references and comments on abortion generated headlines early in 2005. Most news outlets characterized her remarks as a distinct break from the past—implying that she was transforming herself for a White House run—even though she is a former Sunday School teacher who has spoken publicly about religion for decades."
