Hey, I thought her main qualification was supposedly her "experience":
Dick Morris goes on to detail the various miscues and mis-steps in Hillary's primary state campaign ads.
I don't dislike Hillary as a person, but I can't help but notice that the action most responsible for her prominence today was her decision to act as a positive character witness for her husband in wake of the Gennifer Flowers affair. Aside from her initial decision to marry him, nothing else, not even her bid for New York (where she has said and done almost nothing in the Senate), was quite as crucial to her prominence today. Mitt Romney? A successful entrepreneur and a popular governor. John Edwards made himself rich with his lawyering talents. Obama orates in a way which some find inspiring. Bush was also a popular governor. Ron Paul has a long record of small-government votes. Dennis Kuncinich also has a long record of standing up for issues supported by his constituents. And Rudy was a popular and successful New York mayor who helped revitalize the city. I'm not necessarily in favor of all (or even any) of these candidates, but at least they have some sort of qualification for their prominence. Hillary, on the other hand ... married and supported Bill. There's nothing wrong with (and indeed, many things noble about) being a loyal wife, but that alone doesn't qualify you for the job as "leader of the free world." Maggie Thatcher was a loyal wife, too, but that was almost irrelevant to her public political credentials. Add your two cents...
