Taylor Marsh (born 1954), the pseudonym for Michelle Marshall, is an author, political analyst, writer and strategist, as well as founder and publisher of the new media blog TaylorMarsh.com. Marsh lives in the Washington, D.C. area with her husband. Marsh is best known for being a "die hard Clintonite," as the ''Washington Post'' described her in a 2008 profile, "For Clinton, A Following Of 'Marshans'."〔Krissah Williams, ("For Clinton, a following of Marshans" ), ''The Washington Post'', June 4, 2008〕 However, Marsh started out skeptical of Hillary Clinton, as the National Journal's Hotline OnCall〔National Journal's Hotline OnCall, ("Clinton's ads on conservative websites" ), January 23, 2007〕 revealed early in 2007. "TaylorMarsh.com" became a central hub for Hillary supporters during the 2008 primary election cycle. It's part of the reason why ''The New Republic'' profile of her in 2008, "The Hugh Hefner of Politics,"〔Joe Matthews, "The Hugh Hefner of politics", ''The New Republic'', June 16, 2008,((retrieved ); (3a) also available at the (New America Foundation )〕 chronicled Marsh's professional career. She's a contributor to ''The Huffington Post'', as well as other new media sites, reporting from the 2008 Democratic Convention for Pajamas Media,〔Taylor Marsh, ("Barack Obama reveals his steel" ), PajamasMedia, August 29, 2008〕〔Taylor Marsh, ("Live from the DNC: Hillary releases her delegates (day 3)" ), PajamasMedia, August 27, 2008〕〔Taylor Marsh, ("Live from the DNC: Stoking the Clinton-Obama drama" ), PajamasMedia, August 25, 2008〕〔Taylor Marsh, ("Hillary Clinton supporters ask: How'd she lose to this guy?" ), PajamasMedia, June 7, 2008〕 covering SEIU〔Taylor Marsh, (UHS locks out SEIU nurses ), ''The Huffington Post'', December 5, 2006〕 events, and the AFSCME Democratic debate during 2007,〔Taylor Marsh, (Carson City democratic forum ) (Marsh sponsored by AFSCME), ''The Huffington Post'', February 21, 2007〕 and has written for many other new media sites.〔Taylor Marsh, ("SEIU nurses win concessions" ), AlterNet, December 6, 2006〕〔Taylor Marsh, ("The Hillary effect: Nobel Peace Prize for 2011 goes to three activist women" ), The Moderate Voice, October 8, 2011〕〔Taylor Marsh, ("Who started the Iranian badge story?" ), Firedoglake, May 22, 2006〕 Taylor Marsh was born in Columbia, Missouri, but spent most of her life growing up in St. Louis, raised by her mother after her father died. She came of age during the modern feminist movement, which imprinted politics in her persona. Gloria Steinem, the woman who impressed Marsh as the spokeswoman for the women's liberation movement, represented a new breed of smart, beautiful women who wanted more than what was possible for their mothers and were determined to make it happen. Taylor competed in the beauty pageant scene to pay for college, starting with Miss Teenage St. Louis and earning the title of "Miss Friendship" in the Miss Teenage America Pageant.〔Pageantopolis.com, Michelle Marshall was Miss Teenage St. Louis and "Miss Friendship", (Miss Teenage America pageant )〕 Years later, she was crowned Miss Missouri,〔Jim Dye, ("40th anniversary special edition" ), MissMissouri.org〕 of 1974 going to the Miss America 1975 pageant.〔Taylor Marsh, (Miss America Pageant photos ), TaylorMarsh.com〕 NOW picketed the year she was in the pageant, confronting Marsh one day in front of reporters as she came out of her hotel. One angry National Organization for Women supporter got in her face and asked: "How can you demean yourself like this?" Marsh simply replied: "You want to pay for my college tuition?" Marsh went to Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, a liberal arts school, on scholarship, where she performed in the modern dance troupe and as lead dancer in productions, as well as the drama department's "Sweet Charity", in the lead role of "Charity." Marsh graduated with a B.F.A. in three and one-half years. ==Personal history and education== Taylor Marsh's interest in politics began when she was a kid, through her older brother Larry R. Marshall,〔Taylor Marsh, ("The only father I've ever known" ), TaylorMarsh.com, June 19, 2011〕 who was an assistant attorney general for the state of Missouri when John Ashcroft was Attorney General of Missouri. (Years later, Marshall would interact with Senator Orrin Hatch's office, providing a statement for Ashcroft's confirmation hearing and also appearing on CNN〔CNN.com transcripts, ("The Ashcroft factor: Larry Marshall and Gary Orfield debate qualifications for U.S. Attorney General" ), January 15, 2001〕 to debate the desegregation issue.) Marsh's sister, Susie, was married to the late Joseph Stephen Simon, Vice President ExxonMobil. Mr. Simon testified before the United States Congress during Senate Judiciary Committee hearings〔David M. Herszenhorn, ("Senators sharply question oil officials" ), ''The New York Times'', May 22, 2008〕 on gas prices. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Taylor Marsh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
