After Carly Fiorino took a swipe at Hillary Clinton’s record in a debate last fall–“if you want to stump a Democrat, ask them [sic] to name an accomplishment of Hillary Clinton”–Politico asked about 20 well-known Democrats to give their opinions on what Clinton’s most notable achievements had been.  There were comments about her role in health care, her commitment to women in the 1995 Beijing speech, and helping the victims of 911.

But as persistent as any theme to the responses was that Hillary was tough and U.S. foreign policy was strong.

Some of the responses:

Bill Burton, head of a Democratic Super PAC: “Her role in killing Osama bin Laden.”

Howard Dean, presidential candidate 2004 and head of DNC: “The sanction on Iran that brought them to the table.”

Paul Begala, Clinton crony and CNN analyst: “crippling sanctions against Iran.”

Donna Brazile, Democratic strategist: “As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton was instrumental in building an international coalition around the toughest regime of sanctions against Iran in history.”

Harry Reid, Senate Democratic leader: “American foreign policy was stronger when Hillary Clinton left the State Department than when she arrived.”

Chuck Schumer, NY Senator and Israel BFF: “She negotiated the cease-fire in Gaza that stopped the Hamas from firing rocket after rocket into Israel.”
