She's a second term senator. She's no more qualified than Obama or Edwards and it annoys me to hear her infer otherwise. If anything her greatest asset is that she is by far the most Machiavellian person running. The fact that she's a Democrat and that her husband was an effective and popular president doesn't hide what she really is - another rich, white, old guy. Hillary is a politician and to nominate her is to nominate more of the same in Washington. Two families in the White House since 1980 is too damn long. It's time for change. Huckabee is a FREAK and he's a faux Republican. As a business owner I can respect people who vote Republican for economic reasons, but Huckabee isn't fiscally conservative. Hell, Bill was far more fiscally conservative than Huckabee at least according to his campaign rhetoric. Huckabee is the worst kind of Republican, the kind who only push conservative social agendas. Anyone who's not an evangelical and votes for him needs to have their head checked. Also, why doesn't somebody ask Huckabee how Jesus would feel about the Rebel Flag flying over a state capital? I'm sure Christ would've been a huge sympathizer to the Confederate cause. This is supposed to be the greatest country on earth, we deserve better and we can do better.

She’s a two term senator - he’s a one-term senator (only two years). Prior to becoming a senator she was a First Lady and a lawyer - prior to becoming a Senator he was a 7 year state congressman and also a lawyer. It has nothing to do with her being a woman and I’m not belittling her pre-First Lady career - her argument that she is more experienced has all to do with her time inside the White House as the First Lady - and I think that is a flawed argument.
