She's running on her record - but keeping most of it secret until after the 2008 election. Peter Nicholas reports for the Los Angeles Times:
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton cites her experience as a compelling reason voters should make her president, but nearly 2 million pages of documents covering her White House years are locked up in a building here, obscuring a large swath of her record as first lady.Clinton's calendars, appointment logs and memos are stored at her husband's presidential library, in the custody of federal archivists who do not expect them to be released until after the 2008 presidential election.
A trove of records has been made public detailing the Clinton White House's attempts to remake the nation's healthcare system, following a request from Bill Clinton that those materials be released first. Hillary Clinton led the healthcare effort in 1993 and 1994.

There are some legitimate reasons to move cautiously in releasing such records, but when the subject is someone who sat on subpoenaed documents for over two years and then answered Grand Jury questions about it with "I don't recall" 147 times, does she really deserve the benefit of the doubt?
