There is a lot of talk that Hilary is the likely Democratic candidate in '08. Most Presidents have had prior administrative experience, such as being a governor of a state. I am not aware of any such experience in her past. As far as public service, she only brings 1 term as a US Senator. (I believe JFK was the last President who was a Senator prior to becoming President, and was not a Governor). Any serious input, I am curious?

One would assume it is the fact she was a Senator twice. I seem to recall she worked on the impeachment hearings of President Nixon. In any case she has a decent background in serving in/near the US government.
BTW I am against Hilary being President but I must confess her background is not bad and I'd say somewhat better than slick Willie her husband.

While she has experience in politics, I personally would have a real hard time casting my vote for her. Her past performance in the senate has been one of opportunistic flip-flopping and pandering. I think she lacks integrity (what pol doesn't?) and her interests lie very far out of the realm of what is important to me, I just could not vote for her. A difference of opinion in what the future direction of this country ought to be. Biggest problem I have with her. No personal attack on her, just my gut feeling. She is highly intelligent, but that plays little importance in what one's socio-political beliefs are. She meets all the legal requirements to run for the office, just not a viable candidate for my vote.

She lived in the White House for 8 years. She was exposed to a great deal of Presidential Politics while there for those years. She has been a U.S. senator for 6 years. She actually has more political experience than George Bush did at the time he was elected.
It is not my call to say that she will make a good or bad President, I just think she has more experience in a way than GWB did.

She's just as qualified as Bill was.
He was just a big irresponsible kid that had fun & games for 8 years.
He had never held a real job a day in his life. He lived off the taxpayers from the time he was a kid.
Hillary made $10,000 an hour working for the Rose Law Firm. (She never even had to go to the office.)

She's fooled the idiots of New York into voting for her! Otherwise, I see nothing to qualify her for being anything more than a bordello madame.

She is not fit for the office. She is too selfish and blind. I think the bar has been set pretty high with Pres. Bush as the current President.

Well she was exposed to the fact that Bill thought there were WMD's in Iraq! She did vote to go to war in Iraq, and thinks we should be there. I hope she does run.............can't wait to see the political adds then. Yeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwww!

You got some nerve to demand qualifications after you people gave us Dan Quayle and George Bush
