It gives him legislative experience. She has legislative experience (which is her only real experience) and he has more.

For those claiming that her work on campaigns and her various lawyer jobs gave her the experience she needs to be president, I really have to question your sanity. Canvassing and phonebanking for McGovern and Goldwater does not count as experience that makes one qualified to run the country. Neither does sitting on corporate boards and non-profit boards. This is just what corporate lawyers do.

So since they have roughly the same amount of legislative experience, let's compare apples to apples:

During the first 8 years of his elected service, Obama sponsored over 820 bills. He introduced
233 regarding healthcare reform,
125 on poverty and public assistance,
112 crime fighting bills,
97 economic bills,
60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills,
21 ethics reform bills,
15 gun control,
6 veterans affairs

His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427. These included the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006, the Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, and many more.

What bills has Clinton authored or sponsored during her 7 years in the Senate?
