What is the appeal of Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama?
If experience is the true argument, why is Hillary Clinton's stint as First Lady considered more viable political experience than Barack Obama's time as a community organizer, state senator and US Senator? And why, even after watching her passionate speech to GO TO war, does the electorate appear to ignore that Senator Obama was against it from the start?

- Good question, I'm still trying to figure out what qualifications she has to be elected a senator to begin with. Other than being the "smartest" woman in America.
- Hillary Clinton is a tired lady who needs to serve her husband and retire or serve in the senate for a few more years and retire. Having understood a lot about her values in reality she is not Bill Clinton. Note inheritence of Bill's values can be seen in Chelsea not in Hillary. Bill was a great leader who embraced all races, all classes and took USA inside and outside to great heights. She in reality is putting up a face to gain those votes but is another war monger, who is biased by the statements she has made which if not all most of us are aware of. She is just being driven by her ambition to prove see I am better then my husband. Obama, seems the Bill Clinton in reality meaning he is the president material in reality both physically and mentally. He is a far sighted, clean, meticulous and articulate politician who is neat and tidy and his very presence in the presidential fray has added some substance to the campaigns of those retiree set of senators such as the MAcCains, Hillarys, the Guillianis etc. This is all tested and tried stuff which needs to be pushed to the back seat and young, energetic, educated, sauve person like Obama is needed in the forefront. Why? USA has lost too much in the past 7 years.The lost ground has to be taken back. Indeed this cannot be done by the existing presidential probables except one that is Obama. Why? He is energetic, honest, educated, clean(minus the lies,the blame gaming, the denials), smiling face which promises a lot to the Americans and the world in general of some stability to come. That is, if the people of USA understand and vote intelligently putting behind all the biases, so called political affiliations etc. We need to think we are voting not a Democrat, nor a Republican we are voting an individual who will hold back this ship before it sinks.
- Sen. Clinton has been in the US Senate for more than 6 years. Obama has been in for only 2 years. Clinton was First Lady, and a close confidant of President Clinton on issues such as health care and on women's issues. She also was First Lady of Arkansas, and worked on educational issues as well as state health care problems. At the time, Bill as governor, was voted the "Most Effective Governor" by all US governors, including Republicans. Hillary was also an attorney who worked on the Watergate Commission in Washington DC during the early-1970's, and has taken cases on women's abuse cases & worked on child welfare issues. Obama was a state Senator of Illinois, and before that was a neighborhood worker through his Church of Christ church--all for a total of 12 yrs.
- Hillary is the wife of Clinton and she is using her husbands infuluence to lubricate her political pedals but Obama is a Black man that is working a gigantic political rope,which his skin color is a barrier.Some prefer a nonentity than to have a wise and good black president
- Experience is only part of it, Hillary is respected by world leaders. It would take Obama too long to gain that respect and we can not afford on the job training right now. Let him stay in the Senate longer, or hope for VP. There is a lot that has to be accomplished ASAP.
