Guess it depends on what you mean by "excellence." A lot of naive people think it means dazzling and complex verbiage. And if she doesn't dazzle them with ponderous bullsh*t, what are they going to do--not let her vote? Get real.
Let me explain the concept of excellence to you.
Excellence is knowing what you are talking about. Excellence is having command of your subject. Having command of your subject and knowing what you are talking about isn't "ponderous bullsh*t" as ignorant people might think.
