    also "figure" she is the most qualified for reasons including being First Lady of AR and the USA, being on the campaign trail starting in 1977 and being in the Senate. My politics lie with Dodd and Kuchinich, but Hilary's my choice!

    The problem is that being on the campaign trail since 1977 and being First Lady makes her qualified to run for president, but not necessarily to be president. For that we need to look at her work as an elected official and, as much as I admire her, I think she's made some very bad decisions as a senator.
