What is she talking about?

Obama won big tonight in Wisconsin.

"It is not just about words, but about work," Says Hillary Clinton. Can somebody explain to me what exactly Hillary has accomplished in her short tenure as a NY U.S. Senator? She constantly portrays herself as some sort of seasoned political veteran having fought the good fight and having overcome all odds to deliver good deeds to the American people... but.... ahhh, what the fuck is she referring to? If somebody could direct me to some monumental (Hillary) Clinton victory over the Republicans I would be really psyched.

What is Hillary's experience? She hasn't even served one full term more than Obama in the Senate. Last I checked, the role of first lady is not an elected position. This "I am more experienced" argument is making me sick. If she has more meaningful experience, she must identify what specifically that is. Otherwise, I'm left to assume she's referring to her unaccoutanble role as first lady, in which she left a significant number of Americans unimpressed and angry with her actions.

Hillary appears to relish the mud slinging in American politics. Everything I've gathered from her campaign is that she enjoys demonizing Republicans and drawing fault lines on American soil to ensure that the Clinton dynasty continues to prevail. It's absolutely abhorrent. Kudos to Wisconsin voters tonight. I hope Obama continues to show remaining voters politics doesn't need to be so tired and cynical.
