She CLAIMS experience.
However, she does not HAVE experience. She and Obama have equivalent years of public service, Obama a bit more perhaps (I do NOT count first lady time). However, Obama managed extensive financials aspects of his non profit and other work, in addition to independently getting wealthy.

The SERIOUS question is, would ANY know of Hillary, if she were not married to the Ex President? ON her own merits, she is just one of MANY freshman senators, NOT broken out of the pack in ANY way. Obama is known independent of other peoples fame, based on his OWN merits, not others.

So ask yourself, would you even KNOW who Hillary is, if there was NO BILL?

And ask yourself, is someone who is famous because of who they are MARRIED to necessarily presidential?

Our POLLS are popularity/name recognition contests.. sure doesn''t hurt that Bush is a Bush, and Clinton is a Clinton!!!

The only experience Hillary has over the other candidates is having been the wife of a president that DID balance the budget.

I believe that the hope/trust of the people that Bill will help amd/or advise her on a daily basis is the ONLY reason she is leading in the polls.

Where does she get all this experience she claims?

I am not sure how floral positioning in the White House or booking the Lincoln Bedroom is really what America is looking for in "experience".
