The September issue of Glamour will run a feature article about Hillary. Here is an exceprt from her interview with Editor-in-Chief Cindi Leive.
Career Advice from Hillary Rodham Clinton: “You Don’t Have to Be Perfect. Most Men Never Think Like That.”
by Cindi LeiveShe’s been leaning in for four decades—but now, in between a major book tour and a possible history-making presidential run, Hillary Rodham Clinton is putting her feet up and offering “hard-earned” career lessons she says all young women should know. Below, read an excerpt of Editor-in-Chief Cindi Leive’s interview with her from Glamour‘s September issue.
Hillary Rodham Clinton has been many things. You know the list: a lawyer, our First Lady, a senator, a presidential candidate, a pantsuit icon, a political lightning rod (remember health care in the 1990s?), the “most admired woman” in America (for the twelfth year running, according to Gallup), and, most recently, the most traveled secretary of state in American history, visiting 112 countries in that job and doing everything from fighting for human rights in Burma to facing criticism for the attack on the American compound in Benghazi, Libya.
But right now, without a government gig for the first time in over three decades, what she seems most like is a woman in between. Behind her is a high-octane book tour for her new memoir, Hard Choices (not without its speed bumps; her remark to ABC’s Diane Sawyer that she and her family were “dead broke” when they left the White House provoked skepticism, and she later acknowledged she could have discussed the subject in a more “artful” way). Ahead of her is a choice about whether to run for president once again, after the 2008 race that won her 18 million votes, exponentially more than any female candidate before her. “Toward the end of the year, beginning of next year, I’ll have to make a decision,” the Secretary told Glamour. (On The Daily Show, she gamely filled out a career aptitude checklist to help her decide: “Do you like a home office?” Jon Stewart asked. Yes, she said, she did.)
Didn’t Hillary get the most primary votes of any presidential candidate, period?
The RNC is holding their 2016 convention in Cleveland. Not only is Ohio considered crucial for a Republican win, but my guess is that Senator Rob Portman is a lock for the Veep spot.
I suggest that the Democratic Party, too, holds its convention in Cleveland: all the hotels and venues will be up and running and Ohio is also important for a Clinton win.
Full Disclosure: I live in a suburb of Cleveland and I would love to see this happen for a city that I’ve grown to love, but I would really love to see Senator Sherrod Brown in the second spot of the Dem presidential ticket.
Clinton/ Brown has a very nice ring to it.

I think Cleveland is out of the running because the GOP convention is going to be there.

Not to get all regional or anything, but I would love to see de Blasio get it at the Barclay Center, Brand new! Ready for anything!

But, why? I don’t think there’s a law against both Parties in the same city and Cleveland would be prepared.
Brooklyn would be great, too, but de Blasio is a New Yorker, like our girl, and wouldn’t add to the ticket.
Brown is one of those old fashioned lunch bucket, union supporting, blue collar Midwestern liberals who would appeal to the left without scaring the moderates.
That’s just one woman’s opinion.
