During an interview with the New York Times Magazine, Senator Chuck Schumer is the latest person to repeat the meme that Hillary is more experienced than her chief Democratic rivals:

Q: Will you be supporting Obama for president?

A: I’m supporting Hillary. I’ve worked closer with Hillary and, on experience, I would have to give her the edge. I think she’s terrific. When you see her work up close, she is really smart, she asks the right questions and has a good sense of how to balance things.

But as I’ve written, it’s actually not clear that Hillary has more actual legislative or executive experience than her rivals — unless you count being First Lady as experience:

Clinton has no executive experience, no experience managing a large bureaucracy, and less experience as an elected representative than Obama. Just because she’s famous and has lots of experience in national politics doesn’t make her more qualified to be commander-in-chief than her rivals.
