Hillary's approach this time bears little resemblance to her health-care crusade. The woman who once traded put-downs with House majority leader Dick Armey on Capitol Hill now makes her point by tousling the curls of a toddler in a day-care center for hospital workers in Florida, or cooing over a sock dog made for her by children in an after-school program at the Marine base in Quantico, Va.
