22. Please. She is qualified but not overly so. She has like 8 years in the Senate and a term as SoS.

Solid but nothing particularly above and beyond the average.

Chaffee probably has just a good of an argument having served as a Governor and in the Senate, Webb has just a diverse, high level, and a longer career, Sanders has been a Mayor of a major city, a Rep, and a Senator, O'Malley has been Governor of a high population state.

All of or candidates are very well qualified. Biden just ran in 08, he was a long term Senator and had been chair of both Judicial and Foreign Services which I think would place him ahead on that count.

No way she has greater depth of experience than LBJ or Nixon. Jefferson and Adams? FORGET ABOUT IT, not even a contest.

Of course none of the credentials really matter, she has built a dicey at best track record on the matters of the greatest gravity whatever her experience.

If she had ever learned anything she wouldn't have to "evolve" so much in time for the next power grab.

Whatever her resume, she isn't fit for the office because she has a conservative worldview and dangerously poor instincts along with a very casual relationship with the truth and honor.
