Who Could Predict One Female Down While One Won’t Quit

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 20, 2009 -- Mark Sanford has just confirmed that a week in politics can be a very long time, as his love-romp in Buenos Aires has not only risked his job, it has put paid to any presidential aims he might have had. It has also thrown into jeopardy, his Department of Homeland Security Clearance. Sanford has top-security clearance that permitted him to access restricted information, such as likely terrorist threats and emergency contingencies.

In the far North, the harassed Governor of Alaska and much publicized Sarah Palin, resigned from politics, for reasons that are still unclear. Rumours continue to cloud the issue, but everybody would like to know if she has truly set her hopes on running for the presidency in 2012, or has she burned all her bridges?

Although woman politicians have never found the journey easy, in a male dominated arena and the pathway is liberally littered with the bones of long gone would-be successful-women-in-power, some still plod on. In particular, Hilary Rodham Clinton is set to see her star beginning to rise, in the world arena.

In order to lift her profile Clinton is to deliver a major foreign-policy speech at the Council of Foreign Relations in Washington before leaving for India. Clinton has failed to make two overseas trips, as well as the G8 Summit,due to surgery to repair her smashed elbow. However, there is no doubt that in her 'down time' Clinton has been doing a lot of forward planning.

Clinton showed off the official State Department seal on her black arm sling, which she was forced to wear after falling in the car park, on her way to a meeting with President Obama. Clinton is now undertaking intensive physical therapy six times a week. A treatment that will need to be kept up for the next eight weeks.

President Barak and Michele Obama have continued with their overseas trips, in an ongoing program to woo the world. The weeks have been filled with visits to Iran, Turkey, Russia and London to calling in at the Vatican, Rome (where Michele Obama wore a black head veil in respect of catholic tradition), as well as a date in Paris and visiting an historic slave-trading place in Ghana. The whirlwind courtship has not ceased, with Air Force One turning into a second home (complete with wardrobe).

If her profile is to be truly raised, Clinton will have a long road to go to catch up with the President. She will have to work overtime to obtain the president’s trust, as Clinton rises from being the main opposing candidate for the position of president, to being a team player. The first six months have been low key. However this could be all about to change.
