Your quote of the day series is excellent and I hope you will continue. Here is a suggestion for a possible emphasis on certain types of quotes. Quotes counteracting the attacks from the left are useful but by now such attacks have lost much of their force, being almost self-discrediting (e.g. Gibbs). Also quotes from those who have always supported her, (e.g. Ziegler)have relatively little force. The really impactful quotes are those of the converts (previous unbelievers or agnostic about SP). In these cases it would be nice to see an old quote (before conversion) alongside a new quote (after conversion). Two examples are Bill O' Reilly (agnostic) and Karl Rove(unbeliever). Rove, immediately after SP resigned, stated that her effectiveness will be blunted etc. etc. Now he is saying something else. There are and there will be many others.
Such pair of quotes (before and after) would emphasize a quality of SP that is still underrated, i.e., her vision (& courage) for pivotal moves, which are unpredicted to be successful even by the politically 'shrewdest' (and a priori unbiased against her). This is the rare quality of great leaders.
