FILE - In this April 22, 1994 file photo, then-first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton meets reporters in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington. In a conciliatory appearance before the press, Clinton blamed her own efforts to protect her privacy for allowing questions about the Whitewater land deal to spiral. All the peril and promise of Clinton's expected presidential campaign played out in high relief in one hour this past week. It’s the years of accumulated baggage versus the historic prospect of electing the first woman as president. Clinton has a two-decade history with voters as first lady, senator, presidential candidate and secretary of state. (AP Photo/Doug Mills, File)
