A friend (thanks, Rob!) just linked me to this very interesting article on one of the Daily Kos blogs: someone sits down to the very tedious task of digging through the Library of Congress site and and comparing the legislative records of Senators Obama and Clinton. The author's conclusions, in a nutshell:
Senator Clinton is in fact not the cold, heartless liberal robot of doom that some would have you believe. She has authored a great deal of legislation on health care, issues related to children, and things that would generally have a benefit to the nation as a whole. Even Barack Obama has signed on to a number of her bills and amendments as a cosponsor. That said, Obama has also authored a great deal of legislation that is more ambitious and targets problems more directly than Clinton's, and he is more successful at getting those initiatives passed and bringing in bipartisan support.
