Summary of john heilemann & mark halperin's game change

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Hillary Clinton was very familiar with the perks and pitfalls of being a political superstar. For more than a decade, she had been in the spotlight, and in the process, came detested and beloved. #2 In the White House, Clinton had been a polarizing figure from the start. Yet, she became a more resonant figure after the Lewinsky scandal. Her decision to run for the Senate in New York in 2000 went against the advice of many of her friends, but she won the race in a landslide. #3 Hillary was aware that the notion of her running was gaining traction within Clintonworld. She was also aware that the public polls had her within striking distance of the incumbent. But she still ruled out a bid. #4 Clinton was not a woman who was easily swayed by dreamy rhetoric. She was a rationalist who weighed the risks and rewards of every decision. She took her full-term pledge seriously, but she was also aware that it might be the end of her political career if she lost.
