Hillary represented someone

Sexcrime Defender points to an interesting account of Senator Clinton’s representation of a defendants in criminal matters. She really seems to have done it all: 1) aggressively represented defendants in front of courts that were hostile to both her and her clients; and 2) obtained favorable results. She even seems to have earned the respect of the “victims” who understood that she was doing her job.  This is a far cry from Rudy or Mitt's kind of "lawyering."

To be clear, Obama represented people, too, and wrote some motions.  I don’t know much about them, but if someone wants to tell an Obama story, please do so.  In looking at McCain’s biography on Wikipedia, it appears that he didn’t go to law school.  I don’t know much about what non-lawyers do, so I can’t really equate his "experiences" to Hillary or Obama’s.

Finally, please don't take this as an endorsement of any candidate.  Y'all can vote for anyone you damn well please.  See if I care.
