Clinton will make a “big deal” out of correcting her stance on NAFTA in Tuesday’s last debate…

They say the media is for Barack Obama, WRONG! CNN just had a poll up, “IS OBAMA PATRIOTIC”? They continually say, “You can’t count the Clintons out…they are the comeback kids.”

The Clinton are always given the benefit of the doubt…and actually, it is the MSM that has planned for a CLINTON vs. MCCAIN” election for the last two years.

Mauigirl,

Clinton counts every day since she graduated from law school as part of her 35 years of experience. Making matters worse, sometimes she phrases it to sound like she has a 35 year advantage on Obama. If we similarly count Obama’s experience, she actually has a seventeen year advantage because she is older. Once we look at the quality of the experience, it is a matter of opinion, but I’d place Obama ahead.

Great summary of the situation. I too have been put off by Clinton claiming 35 years of experience. I don’t recall how man years she’s been in the Senate but it’s something like 8 at the most (she is in her second term, right?). Anything before that doesn’t count in my book!

And you are right, it’s about judgment, not experience. And I have disagreed with hers on a number of issues, many of which you list here.

Real experiece is a relative point of view! Her strategies got is all wrong!..They were hopeful to ride in her de facto experience which is linked to her husband. But here again there is a problem as the White House scandal in the final years of Bill’s presidency turned many off then and have now rekindled and has turned more off! Democrats do have many conservative voters too.
