her first role in public was as a us senator; he has been a state and then us senator. i'd say they're pretty equal in that regard.

i just don't understand the logic behind 'well, she was first lady, therefore she can be _____'. or that she's qualified because she's bills wife. perhaps they should say she's qualified based on her own merits, not because of who she's been married to. if all she has is her experience as a pols wife, that's not much.
