I have yet to see anyone explain what makes her an experienced candidate. What is her experience that qualifies her to be President? Would she even be a serious contender if her last name wasnt Clinton?
Oh and having ovaries does not qualify her for President any more than having testes qualifies any of the other candidates.

She's not. She is Bill's wife, and she had a so-so successful career as a Arkansas lawyer helping big businesses avoid liability.
She is an accomplished Liar I know that much.
If she wins the election...America will be as bad a Mexico in five years! It will be Mexico...what am I saying!
Gerldine didn't have what it takes to be President, and neither does Hillbilly. If she wasn't the losey wife of a president who had a slcik willy--no one would give her the time of day!

She was a lawyer and the first lady of the US for 8 years (and Arkansas before that) and senator for 6 years.
No, she would not be a serious contender if her last name wasn't Clinton. Democrats really want Bill Clinton back, but since that won't happen, they'll take the next best thing.
Would the current president have been a contender if his name weren't Bush? There's no way he was a better candidate in 2000 than John McCain, but his name recognition got the powers that be to settle on him as "the guy" very early in the process--just like the heavy-hitters in the Democratic party settled on Hillary this time.

Find out from Bush's own opinion about her candidacy. He rates her the most experienced in the ways of the White House and her (presidential) job requirements.
Incidentally she and Bill Clinton have passed the age of concern for ovaries and testes and it is time for serious business for hard core politics - national and international.
If you do a little research you will find the two together have the best and most experienced among all the candidates, Democrats and Republicans put together.

Many people feel her experience largely derives from her tenure as First Lady for eight years. Senator Clinton also has decades of public service as both a politician and activist. This is not unique of course. In other words, Clinton has about as much "experience" as any of the other presidential candidates -- except Bill Richardson. Here is a candidate that actually DOES things (e.g., diplomatic missions, executive experience as governor, wide-ranging resume). But he's not famous, wealthy, or charismatic enough to wage a serious campaign.

Hillary Clinton is an experienced campaigner and NOT an experienced political leader. She has been very active during Bill Clinton's previous Presidential campaigns and helped him get to the top job.
Hillary is experienced in many areas, but she has not had the political experience some people say she has. Her expertise lies in the campaigning, speeches, meets and greets and fundraising.
However, these skills are a huge advantage for her, especially since she was a former first lady.

Sounds like everyone here is just venting. You're frustrated at the pathetic state of the Republican party and the crummy choices you have this election cycle. Say what you want about Hillary. There isn't anything I can say that will change your minds. This time around, there are enough independents who are so fed up with the Republicans that they'll vote for any Dem to reverse the 8 years of decline we've seen under Bush.

She was in the White House for 8 years, but the pastry chef was there for twenty five.
She does seem to be an experienced campaigner. She did have the sense to basically go into hiding during Bill's re-election bid, whether it was her idea or not.

Being married to someone does not qualify you to do they're job, and 6 years in the senate isn't very long.
She is hysterical she is the least experienced candidate it would be a hoot except she will probably win.

This is a no brainer. Of course the only reason people think she is so experienced is because of her husband Bill. If Hillary is elected, what people think they will have done, is elect Bill Clinton for his third term.
