Bernie Sanders is turning up the heat on his opponent:
In the city of Brotherly Love, the home of Rocky Balboa, the place where disgruntled Eagles fans once booed Santa Claus, the increasingly personal and bitter fight for the Democratic nomination took a sharp pugilistic turn Wednesday night. The issue: whether either candidate is even fit for the White House.
Hillary Clinton is not qualified to be president, Bernie Sanders told a crowd of supporters packed into Temple University's arena, delivering his fiercest jab yet to the struggling Democratic front-runner.

The US Constitution says this about qualifications:
Article II, Section 1
5: No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
That's it.
And both Sanders and Clinton appear to meet those requirements, so they're both constitutionally "qualified".
But beyond that, I would say the real difference between the two is that Bernie has devoted his life to issues important to We The People, while Hillary has devoted her life to sucking up to the rich and powerful of the world.
Here are two essays which support my claims about them:

*Hillary - http://www.thenation.com/article/the-problem-with-hillary-clinton-isnt-just-her-corporate-cash-its-her-corporate-worldview/
Which of those particular qualifications do YOU want in your next President?
