51. Whoa now...
Are you saying that Obama and Edwards were pitted against difficult opponents for their first (and only) Senate terms? Let's face it, neither one had a rough time getting elected, and neither has been tested in a re-election bid. Edwards was apparently afraid to run for re-election.

At least Hillary has been re-elected once, so her constituents obvious approve of her job performance. From what I recall, she won by a very large margin the second time, including in districts that are traditionally very red.

Let's also remember that Edwards started out as a corporate lawyer. He never did a single thing for his community, didn't even take pro-bono cases, before he ran for Senate. Hillary, on the other hand, started her law career working to impeach Nixon, and then for children's rights. She had accomplished quite a lot before she ever became first lady of Arkansas.
