Early Career Ambitions: Astrophysicist, doctor, or teacher Most Cherished Accomplishment: Her daughter, Chelsea Clinton Most Meaningful Advice Received: Her mother told her that everyday she was given the choice to either be the lead actor in her own life, or a reactor to the performances of others. The Moral Imperative of the 21st Century: "The empowerment of women."

Wellesley College seniors had never before chosen a commencement speaker from their own ranks when Hillary Rodham stepped to the podium on the last day of May in 1969. Education, she said, must grant the courage to be whole and permit people to live in relation to one another in the full poetry of existence. The speech received national attention and marked Rodham as a leading light for the young women of her generation. By now, its safe to say that the early promise has been borne out; had Hillary Rodham Clinton merely attended Yale Law, served on the staff of the Senate Watergate Committee, become a respected children's rights advocate, been the first female partner at her law firm, been a mother, and served as First Lady of Arkansas, we would think of her as a leader. And yet she has by now spent two additional decades at the very heart of the national consciousness as a sometimes-embattled First Lady, as a distinguished senator from New York, as a groundbreaking 2008 Presidential candidate, and as the 67th Secretary of State. Clinton has outlasted the smears to top Gallups most admired woman in America a record 16 times since 1993. On April 12, 2015, Hillary Clinton announced she will run for President in 2016.

"It's been seven years, and a lot has changed," Hillary Clinton said Sunday in her first visit to Iowa since the state dealt her presidential campaign a devastating body blow.

But there was a moment in the afternoon when it seemed like not much had.

Roughly 200 credentialed media were gathered in a far corner of the Indianola Balloon Field, the grassy expanse where Sen. Tom Harkin was convening his 37th and final Steak Fry, an annual fundraiser that doubles as a point of entry for ambitious Democrats curious about the Iowa caucuses.

After a 90-minute wait, the press scrum - scribblers and photographers alike - were herded like cattle through a series of gates and escorted up to a hot smoking grill, waiting to capture the same image: a staged shot of Bill and Hillary Clinton, fresh out of their motorcade, ritualistically flipping steaks with Harkin.

The Clintons ignored the half-hearted shouted questions from reporters - "Mr. President, do you eat meat?" - with practiced ease. They were two football fields away from the nearest voter. Mechanical, distant, heavy-handed: The afternoon spectacle felt a lot like Hillary's 2008 caucus campaign, a succession of errors that crumbled under the weight of a feuding top-heavy staff and the candidate's inability to connect with her party's grassroots.

And then the head fake - and something different.

Hillary Clinton scoredanother majorvictory in the fight for the Democratic presidential nomination, winningthe South Carolina primary over rival Bernie Sanders on Saturday.

Multiple networks called the race for Clinton shortly after polls in the state closed at 7 p.m. EST, with NBC dubbing Clinton's win "overwhelming."

With almost all precincts reporting later in the night, Clinton was beating Sanders,the Vermont senator,73.5% to 25.9%.

Shortly after the polls closed, the secretarythanked her supporters in South Carolina, signing the tweet with her first initial.

"To South Carolina, to the volunteers at the heart of our campaign, to the supporters who power it: thank you. -H," Clinton tweeted.

"Tomorrow, this campaign goes national," she said in a victory speech to supporters a little while later.

Theresults represented the second consecutive lossfor Sanders, the independent senator from Vermont,whowas not able to crumble Clinton's strong hold on the Palmetto State.

Sanders appeared to recognize he could not win the state. He spentsome of the week in South Carolina, but left mid-week to make campaign stops in several other states,including Oklahoma.

Clinton's victory comes as the primary mapimproves significantly for herheading into next week's Super Tuesday contests.

Recent polls show Clintonedging Sanders in crucial states set to hold their primaries and caucuses next week. Itcould award her a sizeable chunk of the 2,383 delegates needed to secure the Democratic presidential nomination.

Butthere are still warning signs for Democrats as a whole.

Like Iowa and Nevada, some early reports foundDemocratic voter turnout in South Carolina would likelyfallfar short of 2008. Republican primary voters and caucus-goers have shattered turnout records in almost every contest thus far, a sign to some experts that voter enthusiasm is higher among GOP voters.
