Hillary has worked for decades with programming for children and immigrants (Children's Defense Fund, Too Small to Fail, Americorp, etc. etc.). Bernie has little or no frontline experience or record outside of Congress.

Hillary went to Yale law school and practiced law. She can do the best job of evaluating SC candidates - critical with a future President. (Obama's done a good job on nominations so far. Law experience seems to help.)

Hillary joined the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock and, in 1977, was appointed to part-time chairman of the Legal Services Corporation by President Carter. As first lady of Arkansas for a dozen years (19791981, 19831992), she chaired the Arkansas Educational Standards Committee, co-founded the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families, and served on the boards of the Arkansas Children's Hospital, Legal Services and the Children's Defense Fund. In 1988 and 1991, The National Law Journal named her one of the 100 most powerful lawyers in America.
Hillary has board room experience and knows Wall Street operatives first hand. This is actually a benefit in a President that needs to regulate corporations. It's complex, and Bernie has already demonstrated he has simplistic solutions at best. This is one reason she focuses on the glass ceiling, immigration, and women't salaries. She served on the boards of TCBY and Wal-Mart. http://correctrecord.org/breaking-glass-womens-economic-empowerment/
