Hillary Clinton Former sec. of state

Age: 67

Religion: United Methodist

Base: Liberals

Résumé: Former secretary of state, former US senator, former US first lady, former Arkansas first lady, former law school faculty, University of Arkansas Fayetteville

Education: B.A. Wellesley College. J.D. Yale Law School.

Family: Clinton's husband Bill was the 42nd President of the United States. Their daughter Chelsea is marreid to investment banker Marc Mezvinsky, whose mother was a one-term Pennsylvania congresswoman in the 1990s.

Claim to fame: Clinton was the first US first lady with a postgraduate degree and presaged Obamacare with a failed attempt at health care reform in the 1990s.

A long series of financial and ethical scandals has dogged Clinton, including recent allegations that her husband and their family foundation benefited financially from decisions she made as secretary of state. And her performance surrounding the 2012 terror attack on a State Department facility in Benghazi, Libya, has been catnip for conservative Republicans.
