1. Her only experience she can cite outside being a trial lawyer is a Senator from a northeastern state.
2. She has a congressional record on taxes and the federal marriage amendment.

Kerry didn't have to rally his base, Bush did that for him. Kerry did get 55 million votes afterall, which would be the winning total in any other election. This was truly the election that that silent majority spoke - and good thing too.
