One could ask for just what you mean and/or looking for from her as well as any other candidate.
Remember not all current or past candidates or POTUS even had Congressional records to show.

Jon -
Seriously, the newsbot.org bit is fine, but the above isn't English. At all. Say what you mean.
Here's a good example of what I'm referring to:
Voting record
Hillary has certainly showed up more than the average Congressman, but pretty much at average for a Senator. Look at the "NV" issues, though - some of the ones she rails against the most, which is certainly interesting. For instance, she has a perfect Appropriations record, but a very spotty record on the Budget, one area where she assails the current administration (and for the record, I think she's right - but the record speaks for itself).
Her ability to push things through, which would seem to be a part of being President, is not particularly special, as well:
See here.
She's average or worse at sponsoring, voting on or enacting bills, which should be a negative considering public opinion polls for Congress. For all of the shit that Obama gets for inexperience, Hillary hasn't exactly made the most of her time in Congress. This is what I mean by "Congressional record" - I realize she was there, Jon. I realize Governors and other officials get elected all the time. However, look at the record and tell me what I'm missing.
