I wonder if Hillary decided to stick with Rodham in Arakansas out of principle, but got a lot of hassle out of it? Then it might make sense that she'd go back on that when the Clinton's went national... I think it's neat that her bumper stickers just say "Hillary". Everyone knows her well enough (and her name is rare enough) that that's all she has to say. But it does seem as though she sort of keeps "re-branding" herself, doesn't it? Arkansas <em>is</em> a great one! It's pronounced <em>AR-kin-saw</em> because it's a French spelling of an indigenous word. Stay tuned for more!... Nio, a fascinating point!

It's always interesting to apply these techniques to public figures and try to fit their lives into the patterns, isn't it? It's really just about the only way we can get solid information on their inner lives. Thanks, Slade!

However, she did so just before he ran for president. I guess Arkansas* could handle a First Lady with a name different from her husband's, but the nation could not. Who knew Arkansas was so progressive? When she was First Lady (of the nation) she insisted on being "Hilliary Rodham Clinton", however, I don't remember her always being called that. Now that she's running for president, she's dropped the "Rodham" from her name and is just going by "Clinton". Kinda annoys me that she's not sticking to her guns on her name. I mean, why become wishy-washy when the White House is the prize? Wouldn't you want to stick to your guns? And do I truly want someone who can't decide what she wants to be called as President? /rant *Arkansas would be a good word. I always wondered why it's said "Are-CIN-saw" instead of "Are-CAN-sas" It’s my understanding Hillary didn’t change her name when she and Bill married.

Just as I often go nosing in the astrological charts of public figures, I love having a glimpse into this additional layer of meaning as only you can provide it. I'll be looking forward to the others. Jeff,

What a brilliant series concept!

Just as I often go nosing in the astrological charts of public figures, I love having a glimpse into this additional layer of meaning as only you can provide it.

I’ll be looking forward to the others.
