Wow. Why is she doing that? I can't imagine it is really going to help her.

God I hope Obama destroys her tommorrow. Win Texas, Ohio and Vermont. She be finish.

Gooooooodbyyyye Hillary!

So now she's counting her whole lifetime as experience? Who seriously puts their whole life on their resume?

"Thanks for coming in today."

"It's a pleasure to be here. I really appreciate the opportunity to come in an interview."

"We're glad to have you. I noticed that your resume goes back quite a way. I thought you might want to tell us a little about your experience in your own words."

"Sure. It all started as a twinkle in my father's eye."

...

"So, by this time I was three years old and I had already started to excel not only at building sandcastles, but also at running the imaginary kingdoms surrounding them."

...

"Of course, this was the beginning of the dreaded 'awkward phase.' I was hoping we could just skip over this part."

...

"And then he leaned over and tried to kiss me. The timing was awful and I threw up all over the car."

Interesting to note that she also granted McCain a lifetime of experience. Given that McCain's lifetime has a solid decade and some change on her lifetime, how does she turn this narrative around in the general election? Not that I expect her to actually honor this standard.

This is silly.

The actual quote, from the link above:

“I think you'll be able to imagine many things Senator McCain will be able to say,” she said. “He’s never been the president, but he will put forth his lifetime of experience. I will put forth my lifetime of experience. Senator Obama will put forth a speech he made in 2002.”

But let's all pretend she endorsed McCain and then bitch about it.

Oh, I thought this was going to be a reference to her 3 AM ad.

When I saw that ad I seriously thought it was going to turn out to be a McCain ad.

Then Mary Matalin said the same thing on Meet the Press on Sunday and I felt a little dirty, but it's true.

All in the world McCain would have to do in the general against Hillary (as if, I know) is just play that ad, and when Hillary's picture comes up sort of do a "needle scratching off the record" sound and a voice going "Huh? Hillary?" And then the obligatory John McCain shot. Race over.

She thinks she can run on experience against McCain? She is delusional.

No mention of this on the front page.

Imagine, though, if Barrack had said that. What remains of Josh's hair would've shed itself.

I cannot believe these experience claims are making an impression on voters.

John McCain has voted with Bush for the last 7 years--that's experience we don't need. And so what if he was a POW for 5 years in Vietnam a hundred years ago? That taught him nothing about how to wage a modern war. The truth about McCain is that he is the lesser son and grandson of bone fide war heros.

Now for Senator Clinton, I used to think she was quite intelligent and was excited about the prospect of having her as president. But she has run her campaign poorly and, lately, inauthentically. She has reminded me of the sleazy behavior I didn't like about her husband, for whom I voted twice (everyone has faults). Her recent tactics against Obama are shameful. Crying in New Hampshire and whining about how the press was attacking her is a setback for all professional women. Bellyaching about mistreatment in a work setting is viewed by most professionals as weakness.

And finally, her experience. I think older women identify with Hillary because many spent their lives supporting their husbands' careers, as Hillary has done as First Lady in Arkansas and Washington. The woman behind the man. Younger women don't accept that as experience. I'm a surgeon and my husband is an engineer. After 14 years of marriage, you wouldn't want him operating on you or me designing a bridge in your town.

ricosuave,

If Hillary had not been campaigning all across America with a mesage that 'a lifetime of experience' is her chief claim to excellence as a candidate and the main reason we should vote for her you might have a point. But the FACTS are that experience has been the total of whatever positive message she has about herself. And now John McCain.

She has said, in plain English that she and McCain have a lifetime of experience to offer. Obama has a speech. She slammed her Democratic teammate and lifted up the Republican oponent. There is no need to spin this. She believes John McCain is better than Obama and she said so in a public venue with reporters present.

I believe what she was saying was that McCain was going to be campaigning on his lifetime of experience, and that she was the better person to counter those claims.

I think she's full of shit and I hope she loses, but I don't think she was endorsing McCain.

I worry that the more over-the-top "Hillary Endorses McCain" rhetoric the Clinton supporters see, the more they will dig in their heels. Although, frankly, I don't see any other reason besides stubbornness for supporting her at this point. Her campaign is like a car wreck in slow motion.

Looks like Bill Clinton endorses Obama
