Eleanor Clift (born July 7, 1940) is an American political reporter, television pundit, and author. Clift became White House correspondent for Newsweek and has covered every presidential campaign for the magazine since 1976. She is a contributor to MSNBC and blogger for The Daily Beast. She is a regular panelist on the nationally syndicated show The McLaughlin Group, which she has compared to "a televised food fight". In September 1989, she married Tom Brazaitis, a Washington columnist for The Plain Dealer in Cleveland, Ohio. They remained together until his death of kidney cancer on 30 March 2005. Two respected Washington pundits offer a forward-looking history of women in politics--from envelope-stuffing in the 1960s to the prospect of a woman president in the next decade. In the 1990s, women's influence redefined the nature of politics. Bill Clinton won his elections largely on the strength of women's votes. From journalists Eleanor Clift and Tom Brazaitis comes a story of passion, determination, and triumph. They chronicle women's remarkable progress in chapters such as "A Call to Arms" and "The Rules for Women." From there, the authors examine today's prospects and look ahead in "The Governor Gap, " "Hurrying History, " and "Women in Waiting, " identifying those most likely to have an impact on the future. Highlighting all the key players, from Elizabeth Dole and Dianne Feinstein to Hillary Clinton and Christine Todd Whitman, the book also introduces up-and-comers with superstar potential. And in the prescient "Coda: A How-to for Women, " Clift and Brazaitis provide twelve essential tips for women seeking higher office. Certain to spark controversy, "Madam President" is an unrivaled look at the new political world.
