Why Hillary cannot run on Experience against McCain--If she did, we would lose!
HILLARY CLINTON:
Less than 1 year of working for the Childrens Defense Fund straight out of College
15 years of being a corporate lawyer
12 years as First Lady of Arkansas
8 years of being First Lady and 1 failed Health Care proposal
7 years of legislative experience as a Senator- I don't know what her major accomplishments were.


JOHN MCAIN:
Naval Aviator, 23 bombing missions
Shot down, injured and held captive for 5 years
4 years as U.S. Representative
24 years as U.S. Senator - Authored McCain-Feingold, proposed McCain-Kennedy Immigration reform, championed the Line-Item veto act of 1996, and voted against the 1996 Telecommmunications act that Bill Clinton signed while in office.

Is on all of the committees that count.

---------------
Both voted for the IWR, the Patriot Act, No Children left behind,

SO who wins the experience argument in the eyes of the General Electorate? And if that card cannot be played by Sen. Clinton, what does she use in its stead?

7. Exactly--well-stated. Anyone who votes for her thinking she has meaningful
experience compared to Obama is being extremely short-sighted. First Lady and 7 years on Armed Services does not compare to 20-plus years on Armed Services and an honorable military career. We can win with Obama's good judgment, youth and energy, ethics, and vision for the future--what is SHE going to run on once the primaries are over? Is health care and Iraq going to be enough, especially since she failed in her involvement on both issues in the past?
