...There's a RodHam....
May 1, 2006 -- WASHINGTON - Perhaps eyeing a potentially key group of voters as she weighs making a 2008 run for the White House, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has signed on to a measure that could set Puerto Rico on the path to statehood.
Clinton earlier had single-handedly pushed through a tax refund for the island's residents, who pay no federal income tax.
And she's seeking to designate a swath of forest on the island as a national wilderness preserve.
On the statehood issue, Clinton and such senators as likely presidential rivals John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) hope to give Puerto Ricans a vote on whether to maintain the island's current status as a U.S. commonwealth.
My lord, but this woman makes me sick. If ever there was the burning need for retroactive abortion...
