Hillary the "Children's Advocate?"

Hillary claims she has the experience and has fought for change throughout her career. Through Politico's Ben Smith's blog he referenced an article. The article states: "Hillary Rodham Clinton often invokes her '35 years of experience making change' on the campaign trail, recounting her work in the 1970s on behalf of battered and neglected children and impoverished legal-aid clients."

Further on the author indicates that at 27 she was the attorney of a man accused of rape. She used her knowledge in child development to discredit the 12 year-old girl. I know this is what some lawyers do, but I think this contradicts her current message. This article isn't getting much attention right now. I wonder if it'll get more coverage later or whether her opponents will use it against her. Right now, the popular item is Obama's picture on Drudge Report. The information online seems limitless as if something new is uncovered everyday about the candidates.
