She was very up front about her position on H-1B Visa support. He was not.

Yes, he seemed very corporate to me compared to someone like John Edwards, but on a scale, she was decidedly higher from my perspective, and many others as well. Of course a lot of it was that he never really came out with the details of what he would do until after the election. Supporting the mandate for health care was definitely a stated position of Hillary's in the primaries, but not for him, even though he was fully behind that and secretly negotiated without pushing the public option as well when push came to shove.
