Yes he might have less baggage, but Hillary has many years that she has collected the baggage. I would feel more comfortable saying he has less baggage if he was running in 12 because than we could see more of his actions and reactions.

If we are to be fair than lets only count the 1st 8 yrs of all of the candidates. (State and Nat amount Obama has...I am only giving him 1 yr nat., since he has spent more time on the trail than the hll)
Is it fair that Obama has a short historical record and people say look he doesn't have baggage, you are judging him wrong, but look at all of Hillary and McCains...well of course there is more baggage, they have spent 20+ yrs in the political arena. In essence, McCain and Hillary are being judged for being experienced
