Danger! If Hillary wins the nomination, she thinks she can match McCain on the "experience" question

This is bad. This is very, very bad. It struck me this is a small preview of the race she imagines: Clinton and McCain, two experienced insiders, slugging it out toe to toe over whose vision for America will win.

She honestly thinks her time as First Lady of the US and AR and 7 years in the Senate will stand up to his two decades in the Navy and three decades in Congress. She actually thinks that. It won't remotely wash.

As First Lady she:
A) managed a health-care reform package into the ground
B) lobbied for women's and children's issues
C) met world leaders in social settings

Now, I certainly admire that she lobbied for women's and children's issues, but it's a danger if she thinks being a lobbyist for 8 years and a senator for 7 is even remotely in the same league as McCain's experience.

She will make the "experience" argument in the GE, and she will lose badly.
