« Obama: backing "comparable worth" now? | Main | Frying Fish, Pressing Flesh »
Just pick a name and stick with it already. When John Edwards ran for the Senate, Elizabeth Anania decided to become Elizabeth Edwards, so at least Hillary isn't the only one in the race with identity issues. This is not a big deal, I just found it interesting that even strong independent women can revert to tradition when trying to appeal to voters.

Don't forget that this comes on the heels of her plain-spoken denial that the campaign would be dropping the Rodham. Quite the trustworthy lass.

The dropping and picking up of names seems to be a habit with the mental retarded democrats. Don't I remember a Heinz becoming a Kerry for the duration and losing cause in a recent election, and the picking up of Heinz again after the loss.
The democrats have bacame a comedy within, dangerous to the survival of the United States, but still a comedy.

Obviously someone's been doing some polling on the issue.
I expect it was just a gut feeling which led Hillary to add the "Clinton" in the first place, which she had originally declined, for Arkansas politics. You can bet, though, that wealthier candidates like Edwards and Kerry had the poll numbers in front of them before their wives suddenly became more traditional spouses and adopted their last names - even temporarily. Likewise for the Rodham-Clinton campaign today . . . I thought her best bet was simply to reprise her 2000 Senate persona of "Hillary!" No muss, no fuss, no messy middle or last names to hide, reclaim, or defend.
I suppose we can't blame politicians for engaging in such cynical charades, given the remarkable success rate.

Just so you know, I did not change my name to Edwards when my husband ran for the US Senate in 1998. I changed my name in 1996 when our son died. I stopped practicing law then, too. I wanted to have his headstone and mine have the same name. It is tough enough out there without having to respond to someone's speculation.
