With all the problems they've had the last few decades, being the head of the American Red Cross is a negative for any resume, not even considering the way Dole let politics influence some of her decisions while she was head of the ARC.  There is no way I would ever give them money to squander thanks to the consistent mismanagement they have displayed. Other organizations do the same work better and the only reason the ARC is able to fund raise is the goodwill the brand name built up in earlier decades combined with the fact that they place a priority on PR over public service.

That said, I wouldn't attribute the decline of the ARC to Dole, but rather the decline of the ARC was one of the factors that led to them considering Dole to be their head.

Hillary leaves that off her resume. It doesn't exactly look good when you're trying to win a Democratic primary.

Both Elizabeth Hanford Dole and Hillary Rodham Clinton have very impressive resumes.

Academic credentials, Elizabeth Dole has the edge there.

Public offices held, I would place Elizabeth Dole and Hillary Clinton as even.

Overall, I would say Elizabeth Dole has the more impressive resume, albeit very close.

Hillary and Elizabeth largely mirror each other in how they became politically famous, but I'd say Hillary. I'd vote for Elizabeth Dole over her, though.

That is certainly true about their careers.

Both ivy league educated.

Both cabinet secretaries.

Both U.S. Senators.

Both unsuccessfully sought the Presidential nomination of their party.

Both married to very prominent members of their party.

Bill Clinton elected President, Bob Dole was a prominent U.S.Senator and a nominee for President.

Elizabeth Dole was a Democrat and became a Republican.

Hillary Clinton was a Republican and became a Democrat.
