"Caucus States Are Undemocratic" - so said the governor of Pennsylvania - apparently the new "kingmaker" state - Sunday morning on Meet the Press. It is incredible how much the "big" states are attempting to minimize the "small" states.
If you are curious as to why Senator Clinton so dislikes the caucus states ... places where people sit down and talk face with their neighbors - the very definition of democracy here in New England to this day and in most states at the birth of the Republic - maybe its because neither she nor husband former President Clinton ever does well in caucus states. See below.

Perhaps its just harder to look someone inthe eye and talk honestly about Senator Clinton than it is to do the same about Senator Obama ... or maybe its harder to keep a straight face in front of your neighbors when bragging about her "accomplishments".
Senator Clinton's "record" of bill sponsoirship and successful passage of such bills:
Statistics: Hillary Clinton has sponsored 356 bills since Jan 22, 2001, of which 309 haven't made it out of committee (Extremely Poor) and 2 were successfully enacted (Average, relative to peers). Clinton has co-sponsored 1733 bills during the same time period (Average, relative to peers).
(FROM: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/person.xpd?id=300022 )
To be fair, Senator Obama has sponsored 129 bills and had one passed with 120 not making it out of committee (FROM: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/person.xpd?id=400629 )
Then again, these bill totals are since January 1, 2001 for Senator Clinton and since January 4, 2005 for Senator Obama ... that gives him 4 years to match her stellar accomplishments.
Regarding experience, a rhetorical questions - what ELECTED offices did Senator Clinton hold before 2001? And the same question regarding Senator Obama. Hmmm.
And a real question - is it true that Senator Clinton NEVER had security clearance while she "served" in the White House?
