If you haven't noticed this...her public speaking ability amounts to zero. It was noted over ten years ago that she lacked any real speaking ability. I think the major reason that Rudy got out of the first senate race is that the Republicans wanted her to cruise on...even this second race...is simply a cruise with no competition. Its all on purpose.
Once she steps out in 2008...and campaigns...speaking to crowds...it'll be a mess for her to look realistic while speaking. And the debates? Her democratic competition will tear her up in these debates. If she makes it past the primary season...any real Republican candidate will easily take her down in 3 debates. I'm doubting that she will allow herself in more than one debate.
Apparently the world's smartest woman doesn't know or care enough about the subject matter to speak from memory.
