clinton, but madeleine albright. we had three very capable women secretaries of state, but we are not yet willing to entertain the notion of an actual woman president. >> why is that? >> that's one of the things our series is trying to find out. it's like when a woman actually says i believe i would be a good president, she is considered ambitious which in a woman is unattractive. it comes up in our show. i think in an interesting way. >> do you think it will change? america is changing too fast and all sorts of ways with gay marriage and other momentum. do you feel like the whole area to the concept of the female president may change quickly? >> i suppose it could, but you sound more optimistic than i feel. >> i am. i think there is a lot of smart women around.

the very next day, madeleine albright, who also played a big role and vital voices, she was on "meet the press" with tim russert and he said, madam secretary, do you think women see the world believe that man? she said, of course we do. so, it was night and day. but there was a little wine in the book where you say that women -- line in the book where you say women see problems that men don't see and to solve things from the inside out within a country is the way to go about it. that is why the support that you give the women in their own countries become very important. >> our approach, which i believe is a very female approach -- >> what does it mean, a female approach? >> we go income i think, listening. so, we go into a country and we don't say, okay, here of the 17 problems and here are the 17 solutions. in some cases, this might be a good approach, but we believe in the work that we do, that would not be the best approach. we believe the best approach is to go into a country and to seek out and find those people, those leaders who have a solution and will have the ideas and inv

madeleine albright, strobe talbott and then we run into the iraq war. this time the democrats try to correct the mistakes that they made politically at the time of the gulf war to authorize the use of force in iraq and that experience of 2002, 2003 gives rise to the "obaaians," democrats who really didn't get involved working in the executive branch of foreign policy until 2009. they really rose to the prominence and opposition. to bush they had the experience of the disaster of the iraq war. they also had the experience of the financial crisis of 2008. they have a different perspective than i think classic clinton and dmocrats. and who are these people? well, people like dennis mcdonough, who's now the deputy national secury adviser, who has been over the last three years the guy who sees through out the administration what obama wants, obama gets. ben rose, the speechwriter wordsmith for the administration whose job it is to figure out obama's message. some and the power who jokingly calls herself the conscience mascot. she's in charge, has been the m

last month she blasted past madeleine albright's total of 98 and sec clinton will still be racing aroundor at least a few more months no matter which way the vote goes in november. imagine the sheer number of booster shots and inoculations she needs to live and work in so many climates. that doesn't count the shots from foreign leaders when she defends democracy in china or speaks up for human rights in egypt even while someone throws tomatoes at her. but hey, this is hillary clinton we're talking about. she's had worse and nothing stops her. last we heard, she was taking a breather and then she'll be on her way >>it's the place where democracy is supposed to be the great equalizer, where your vote is worth just as much as donald trump's. we must save the country. it starts with you. it's go time! >>every weeknight cenk uygur calls out the mainstream media. >>the guys in the middle-class screwed again! i think you know which one we're talking about. >>overwhelming majority of the county says: "tax the rich don't go to war." i just wanted to clarify. >> eliot: over the last month, preside

senate in 19d 97, her first vote was to confirm the nomination of madeleine albright as the first femaleretary of state. that's when it all started for collins, who made a hill history of her own this week. >> we all know she's one of the hardest working members of the united states senate. >> 5,000 votes, frankly, a number of us have cast 5,000 votes. but it's ridiculous the example that she has set, never missing a vote. >> you heard that right. 5,000 consecutive votes. it's impressive, but still third in the record books. the late william proxmire, senator from wisconsin, cast more than 10,000 votes in a row through the '60s, '70s, and '80s. and iowa senator chuck grassley has an ongoing streak of more than 6,400 votes. unlike proxmire and grassley, collins has never missed a senate vote, not once since her arrival in the state. a moderate from a largely democratic state, collins is not always lockstep with her party. she was one of five republicans to vote to acquit president clinton of perjury and obstruction of justice charges in 1999. >> ms. collins -- ms. collins, not guilty. >>
