NY – More Hillary Spin

Most Hillary fans have made their way to the exit, but her press machine is still hard at work. They are putting both Missouri and Arizona in the "W" column for her. (Note: I don't think any news outlets have called Missouri for Hillary yet.)
(UPDATE: Obama, in fact, won Missouri. Not Clinton.)

Here's what Team Hillary is saying:
Southwest to Midwest, Clinton Picks Up Two More Toss Up States

MISSOURI
Barack Obama outspent Hillary by $300,000 in TV ads in Missouri. He also benefited from the endorsements of high-profile surrogates across the state such as Representatives Carnahan and Clay, and Senator McCaskill, all of whom actively campaigned for him and appeared in ads on his behalf.

Despite these challenges, Hillary Clinton won this important toss-up state.

ARIZONA
In addition to the endorsement of Governor Janet Napolitano, Barack Obama visited Arizona twice, spent $1.3 million in television advertisements, put an estimated 15 staff on the ground and opened two offices.

Will someone please explain why Hillary and others claim she has 35 years experience and is "ready on Day 1", to be president!
I've read her background on her website and see a commendable history as a lawyer, someone who worked programs for children and was first lady and now is in 2nd term as a senator. But I don't see that as 35 years experience towards the presidency and nothing that matches governors nor longterm legislators, so would someone fill in the blanks for me!!!! What am I missing!!!

My question is why this strange loyalty after don't ask/don't tell? T.Gill has gone to supporting local or regional candidates after being thrown under the bus by the Clinton's. Barney Frank has benefitted from the association but has not been to dinner in Chapapuqua.
Is there something I am missing?

I have answers for RichC and aralyn that make sense to me. Hillary has worked with Bill their entire time together. They ran Arkansas brilliantly, and created and passed a national legislative agenda that let the good times roll in the 90s. Obama hasn't passed one bill or held a meeting, and he spent his time in the Illinois senate playing poker. As for don't ask don't tell, the opposition was powerful at the time. They chose to make the deal, and fought instead on healthcare. Those decisions still make sense to me. I think healthcare for all Americans is just a tad more important than being able to do the double snap in basic training. It was a brutal struggle against the all powerful healthcare industry, and someone I knew was sent to DC with suitcases full of cash to stop the process. Because of our situation, I thought queer people especially would appreciate such an attempt. http://a-civilife.blogspot.com
